Hog roast for events in Way
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Hog roast for events in Way, slow-roasted on site
Village fêtes around Way suit a hog roast: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, apple sauce and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater country shows and fundraising events.
At a field event near Way, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Travel to Way
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Show allergens at the stall
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.

- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
