About our hog roast for events in West Street
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We’re self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. Whether it’s fundraising events and summer fêtes, we can cook crackling, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
A fête near West Street might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What comes off the roaster

- Plan separately for halal if needed
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
