Hog roast for events in Oad Street, slow-roasted on site
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. Whether it’s community days and street fairs and festivals, we can cook apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers for your visitors.
For a village fête or field event near Oad Street, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. For an autumn event in Oad Street, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
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 go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Oad Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
What do you need from the organiser?

Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can you help with a fundraiser?

Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
