Hog roast for events in St Peter's
Hog roast for events near St Peter's
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for community events and car shows and rallies.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around St Peter's are made for a hog roast. Send us the pitch and access details. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with cold food stalls, hot food is popular in any season. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For an autumn event in St Peter's, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

- Details of what the event requires
- A queuing area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
For event organisers in St Peter's
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Halal isn’t offered
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.

Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
