Hog roast for events in Sole Street
Hog roast for events in Sole Street, slow-roasted on site
Agricultural shows and country events near Sole Street are a natural home for a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. We serve crackling, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are regularly asked to cater agricultural and country shows and summer fêtes.
A fête near Sole Street might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Your trader requirements
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We clear the pitch and take everything away.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

FAQs for Sole Street
How far is Sole Street from London?
About 22 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Sole Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you come to Sole Street?
Yes, Sole Street is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
We’re happy to talk it through.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How we price a hog roast for your event
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
