Hog roast for events in Broadstone, slow-roasted on site
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. We are frequently asked to cater school events and community events, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage.
For a village fête or field event near Broadstone, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:

- Your trader requirements

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day

The menu, dish by dish

Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
