Hog roast for events for Wyke
About our hog roast for events in Wyke
Village fêtes around Wyke suit a hog roast: the smell draws people over, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. We’re often asked to cater club events and town and village days, serving rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
At a fête or show near Wyke, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Wyke are dark by about 3:55pm, 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.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Name a contact for the day
