About our hog roast for events in Welling
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Welling. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, crackling and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for community days and street fairs and village fêtes.
Events in Welling range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers typically need council permission for public spaces, and the roaster needs a pitch with clearance. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Balance the food line-up
- Show allergens at the stall
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
