Slow-roasted pork in Worth
How our hog roast for events works in Worth
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. We are often asked to cater school events and small festivals, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
At a fête or show near Worth, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.

The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event in Worth. In December, Worth is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Planning help
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a burger van, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Carved to order by a chef
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

The price comes down to:
- Time on site

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- A level pitch with firm ground
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
