How our hog roast for events works in Stoke Poges
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and we are frequently booked for school fairs and sports days and horse and dog shows.
In Stoke Poges, one popular trader keeps it simple. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from other traders
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- A level pitch with firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
