Hog roast for events near Puckaster
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Puckaster. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. Typical bookings include car shows and rallies and agricultural and country shows, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers.
At a field event near Puckaster, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.

Organising for someone else?

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, events in Puckaster stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access
