Slow-roasted pork in Watermead
About our hog roast for events in Watermead
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. For small festivals and agricultural and country shows, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers for your visitors.
For events in a place like Watermead, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Summer events in Watermead have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
