Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Where the roaster can go in Murrell Green
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- A level pitch with firm ground

- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
