Hog roast for events in Plaitford Green, slow-roasted on site
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater school events and charity days.
Near Plaitford Green, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
