The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, events in Ryeish Green stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
Some visitors will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
