The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How our hog roast for events works in Oakley
Festivals and shows run for hours, and we serve through the agreed hours. We serve crackling, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for fun runs and sports events and charity fundraisers.
Events near Oakley are frequently volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late-September events in Oakley lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Halal is not offered
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
If your event has a theme, tell us.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you’re 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.

It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
