Hog roast for events in Bentworth, carved to order
Agricultural shows and country events near Bentworth are a natural home for a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. We serve rotisserie chicken, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re often booked for school events and small festivals.
Rural events near Bentworth can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In late May, sunset in Bentworth is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
