Hog roast for events in Potters Corner, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Potters Corner. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. We’re often asked to cater charity days and community days and street fairs, with halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls.
At a fête or show near Potters Corner, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Make the stall easy to find
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In December, Potters Corner is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
