About our hog roast for events in New Barn
At a fête, fair or festival in New Barn, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. Whether it’s community days and street fairs and PTA summer fairs, we can cook halloumi skewers, apple sauce and crackling.
Summer fairs around New Barn are frequently run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.

- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Your trader requirements
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
