Hog roast for events in Lower Green
Hog roast for events in Lower Green, carved to order
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Lower Green attract visitors. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest how it could work. For PTA summer fairs and country shows, we can cook crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
A fête near Lower Green might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. Late-September events in Lower Green lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A firm way on and off the field
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
