Hog roast for events in Dunsbury, slow-roasted on site
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. Popular choices include crackling, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for car and steam shows and food and music festivals.
At a fête or show near Dunsbury, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Questions from Dunsbury
Can you roast near the sea around Dunsbury?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Dunsbury?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Dunsbury?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Dunsbury and the rest of the Isle of Wight included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Get in touch and we will see what’s possible.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Dunsbury are dark by about 4:05pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
