A hog roast near Old Oak Common
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal is not offered
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
How our hog roast for events works in Old Oak Common
Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day. Whether it’s car and steam shows and small festivals, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Events in Old Oak Common range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces usually need council permission, and we need a pitch we can reach. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Old Oak Common questions
Can you do a hog roast in Little Wormwood Scrubs?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to a school fair in Old Oak Common?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you need power on site?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
