Hog roast for events near Buckskin
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. We serve apple sauce, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater school events and community events.
Events near Buckskin are frequently volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
Name an organiser to meet us.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Summer events in Buckskin have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Let us know about tight access
