Hog roast for events near Dunbridge
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. We’re often asked to cater car shows and rallies and fundraising events, with a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.

Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Your trader requirements
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
