How our hog roast for events works in Lower Twydall
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: people follow their noses, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. Whether it’s summer fêtes and festivals, we can cook halloumi skewers, apple sauce and crackling and more.
Rural events near Lower Twydall can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Show allergens at the stall
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian

The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For an autumn event in Lower Twydall, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
