About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Hog roast for events in Somerley, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Somerley. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. Typical bookings include community events and village fêtes, with halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken.
A fête near Somerley might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Where the roaster can go in Somerley
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A level pitch
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Your trader requirements
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the roaster

The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Somerley are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
