About our hog roast for events in Curbridge
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. For car and steam shows and school fairs and sports days, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Events near Curbridge are often volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Show allergens at the stall
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten

A hog roast compared with other options
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls makes a good food line-up. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
