Hog roast for events in Apuldram, carved to order
Festivals and shows run for hours, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. We’re frequently asked to cater vintage rallies and food and music festivals, serving crackling, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage.
A fête near Apuldram might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event in Apuldram. Late-September events in Apuldram lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
