For event organisers in Pilley Bailey

If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A firm way on and off the field
- A level pitch with firm ground
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve

- Hog roast rolls

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Why choose a hog roast in Pilley Bailey?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
