About our hog roast for events in South Gorley
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours. Typical bookings include school events and vintage rallies, with rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling.
At a fête or show near South Gorley, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. 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.

What affects the price in South Gorley
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to South Gorley
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- A level pitch
- A queuing area
