About our hog roast for events in Burghclere
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We serve hog roast rolls, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re regularly asked to cater horse and dog shows and charity fundraisers.
Rural events near Burghclere can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
