About our hog roast for events in Weeke
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. We’re often asked to cater agricultural and country shows and charity days, serving crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
Around Weeke, a fête or summer fair suits a hog roast. Send us the pitch and access details. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Space for people to queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, events in Weeke stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
