Hog roast for events near Upper Green
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Upper Green. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. For town and village days and village fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and crackling for your visitors.
Rural events near Upper Green can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
