Slow-roasted pork in South Green
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Hog roast for events in South Green, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in South Green attract visitors. We’ll talk through options with you. Popular choices include crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for community events and food and music festivals.
For a village fête or field event near South Green, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Planners, venues and businesses

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Summer events in South Green have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
