DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, events in Sharnal Street stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day

Can you come to a school fair in Sharnal Street?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
