Hog roast for events in South Street
South Street questions
Is South Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a school fair in South Street?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
