Hog roast for events in Mount Pleasant
Hog roast for events in Mount Pleasant, carved to order
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. On the menu are halloumi skewers, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for vintage rallies and village fêtes.
Near Mount Pleasant, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
