About our hog roast for events in Wannock
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. We are often asked to cater community days and street fairs and fun runs and sports events, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Rural events near Wannock can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

What affects the price in Wannock
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In late May, sunset in Wannock is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
