Common questions in Skeete
Do you trade at school fairs around Skeete?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Skeete too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Get in touch and we will see what’s possible.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What do you need from the organiser?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
