Hog roast for events in Stratford, carved to order
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. Whether it’s vintage rallies and PTA summer fairs, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken.
In Stratford, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces generally need council permission, and we need a pitch we can reach. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

The process
Rain doesn’t 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 Stratford, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Any paperwork the organisers need
As a London location, Stratford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
