How our hog roast for events works in Lower Cox Street
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for school events and horse and dog shows.
A fête near Lower Cox Street might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
