At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. Whether it’s vintage rallies and fundraising events, we can cook apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
At a field event near Padworth Common, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Halal is not offered
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
