DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Signpost the stall clearly
We serve as the queue moves.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.

For event organisers in Lurgashall
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Summer events in Lurgashall have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Name a contact for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
