Hog roast for events in North Looe, slow-roasted on site
Village fêtes around North Looe suit a hog roast: people follow their noses, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. We’re often asked to cater town and village days and school events, with crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Near North Looe, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan visitors can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Balance the food line-up
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Signpost the stall clearly
Give us a contact on the day.
Add coleslaw.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-May events in North Looe have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
