Hog roast for events near Pembles Cross
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. Typical bookings include car shows and rallies and country shows, with halloumi skewers, crackling and apple sauce.
A fête near Pembles Cross might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
