Hog roast for events near Durley
Charity fundraisers in Durley can use a hog roast to draw people in. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest how it could work. On the menu are crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for vintage rallies and club events.
Rural events near Durley can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September events in Durley lose the light at about 7:10pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
