How our hog roast for events works in Warren Street
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Warren Street attract visitors. We’ll talk through options with you. Whether it is country shows and church and village fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls and more.
A fête near Warren Street might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Wherever your event is in ME17, we can roast on site for your visitors.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Working with your venue
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.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, Warren Street is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
