Slow-roasted pork in Brabourne
Hog roast for events near Brabourne
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. On the menu are halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for car shows and rallies and village fêtes.
At a field event near Brabourne, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.

We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How we price a hog roast for your event
We work out each quote from:

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Late-May events in Brabourne have light until about 8:45pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
