Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll discuss the options.
How do we prepare?

When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How our hog roast for events works in Benover
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Benover attract visitors. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest how it could work. Whether it is summer fêtes and school fairs and sports days, we can cook rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
Rural events near Benover can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a burger van, a hog roast feels more special at a traditional fête. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

What the cooking area needs

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
