Hog roast for events in Westbrook, carved to order
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We are self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. Popular choices include crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for PTA summer fairs and church and village fêtes.
Events near Westbrook are frequently volunteer-run, so a self-contained hog roast helps. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Show allergens at the stall
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
