About our hog roast for events in The Hyde
Country shows near The Hyde suit a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. Popular choices include apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer fêtes and food and music festivals.
In The Hyde, street events mean planning closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

- A level pitch with firm ground
- Clearance from other stalls and tents

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in The Hyde are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
