Hog roast for events in Sandling
How our hog roast for events works in Sandling
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We’re self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. Whether it’s food and music festivals and PTA summer fairs, we will put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
A fête near Sandling might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Summer events in Sandling have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
