How our hog roast for events works in Bulverhythe

A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Bulverhythe. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. We’re often asked to cater school fairs and sports days and horse and dog shows, with rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls.

At a field event near Bulverhythe, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

  • Halal isn’t offered
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
  • Stuffing normally contains gluten

We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.

Catered or do it yourself?

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

What we serve, dish by dish

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.

Stuffing and apple sauce

A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.

How it works

We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. In late May, sunset in Bulverhythe is about 8:45pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.

  1. It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
  2. We check access to the pitch and send a price.
  3. We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
  4. We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
  5. Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.

Before we arrive

  • Think about shelter for your visitors
  • Let us know about tight access
  • Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
