How our hog roast for events works in Dunton Green
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. On the menu are crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater church and village fêtes and vintage rallies.
At a field event near Dunton Green, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- A queuing area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
