Hog roast for events in Ruislip
How our hog roast for events works in Ruislip
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. We serve crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for summer fêtes and community days and street fairs.
In Ruislip, a hog roast suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Ruislip are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
- Numbers
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Show allergens at the stall
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Chicken widens the choice.
