How our hog roast for events works in Waddon
At a fête, fair or festival in Waddon, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. On the menu are hog roast rolls, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for community days and street fairs and charity fundraisers.
Street parties and school fairs in Waddon suit a hog roast stall, once the permissions are in place. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Things that change the price:

The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Waddon are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.

- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

- Give us a contact number for the day

What else we do in Waddon
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Show allergens at the stall
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
