How our hog roast for events works in Lower Green
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater summer fêtes and community days and street fairs.
At a field event near Lower Green, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

What happens on the day

- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
