About our hog roast for events in Bunce Common
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. For summer fêtes and festivals, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and crackling.
At a field event near Bunce Common, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Space for people to queue
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Bunce Common
How far is Bunce Common from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Inholms Clay Pit?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is electricity needed?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
