How our hog roast for events works in Dibden Purlieu
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We’re frequently asked to cater community days and street fairs and fun runs and sports events, with hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken.
For events in a place like Dibden Purlieu, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. A hog roast does that. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In December, Dibden Purlieu is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A firm way on and off the field
- A level pitch
- A queuing area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
