Hog roast for events near Martin Mill
Charity fundraisers in Martin Mill can use a hog roast to draw people in. We will talk through options with you. For summer fêtes and vintage rallies, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
A fête near Martin Mill might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Halal isn’t offered
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
