Hog roast for events near Upper Street
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. For small festivals and community days and street fairs, we can cook apple sauce, crackling and halloumi skewers for your visitors.
At a fête or show near Upper Street, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Upper Street are dark by about 4:05pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
