Hog roast for events for Stoke
How our hog roast for events works in Stoke
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. We’re frequently asked to cater food and music festivals and fun runs and sports events, serving hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage.
A fête near Stoke might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.

What else we do in Stoke
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Show allergens at the stall
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Add coleslaw.
Stoke: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Stoke?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Stoke close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you come to our fête?
We do. Send us the details.
What do you need from the organiser?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, Stoke is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
