Hog roast for events near Albourne
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Albourne attract visitors. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest how it could work. For tournaments and sports days and vintage rallies, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers for your visitors.
At a field event near Albourne, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Albourne: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Albourne close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
