How our hog roast for events works in Dunk's Green
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Tell us how you’d like it to work. For club events and car and steam shows, we will put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
A fête near Dunk's Green might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Questions from Dunk's Green
Do you trade at school fairs around Dunk's Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do you come out to small places like Dunk's Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you need power on site?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. A supply is useful for lights.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A safe distance from other traders
- Your trader requirements
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Halal isn’t offered
We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What affects the price in Dunk's Green
Things that change the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
- What the outdoor space is like

- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
