How our hog roast for events works in Street End
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. On the menu are halloumi skewers, apple sauce and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater church and village fêtes and town and village days.
Near Street End, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

- Menu choices and extras

FAQs for Street End
Do you come out to small places like Street End?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Street End from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is electricity needed?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
