Hog roast for events in St Michaels, carved to order
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. We’re frequently asked to cater fun runs and sports events and church and village fêtes, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
A fête near St Michaels might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Halal is not offered
- Make the stall easy to find
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Add coleslaw.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why St Michaels hosts choose us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Served at the time you choose

For event organisers in St Michaels
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
