How our hog roast for events works in Didling
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. We are frequently asked to cater town and village days and tournaments and sports days, serving halloumi skewers, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
At a field event near Didling, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Late-September events in Didling lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.

Questions from Didling
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Didling?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
