About our hog roast for events in St Lawrence
At a fête, fair or festival in St Lawrence, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. For fundraising events and community events, we can cook apple sauce, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
Near St Lawrence, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

St Lawrence questions
Can you roast near the sea around St Lawrence?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you come to a school fair in St Lawrence?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What will our event need from you?
Organisers often ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we will respond.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Is electricity needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Your trader requirements
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
For somewhere as remote as St Lawrence, early notice helps us plan the trip.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

For event organisers in St Lawrence
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
How it 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. For an autumn event in St Lawrence, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
