Hog roast for events near Strood Green
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. There are options for most visitors. For community days and street fairs and church and village fêtes, we can cook hog roast rolls, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage for your visitors.
At a field event near Strood Green, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
