Hog roast for events for Shurlock Row
Hog roast for events in Shurlock Row, slow-roasted on site
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We’re self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. On the menu are halloumi skewers, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for club events and community days and street fairs.
At a field event near Shurlock Row, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Where the roaster can go in Shurlock Row
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Any paperwork the organisers need
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Coleslaw
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Shurlock Row are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- 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 serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Name a contact for the day

Twyford station, about 2.5 miles west of the centre.
Do you trade at school fairs around Shurlock Row?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.

The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest options.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What if it rains?

We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

- Show allergens at the stall
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
Add coleslaw.
