Hog roast for events in Peel Common
How our hog roast for events works in Peel Common
Country shows near Peel Common suit a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. Typical bookings include school events and agricultural and country shows, serving apple sauce, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
At a field event near Peel Common, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In late May, sunset in Peel Common is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
