How our hog roast for events works in Kimbridge
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. We serve apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater tournaments and sports days and car shows and rallies.
A fête near Kimbridge might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-May events in Kimbridge have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Name a contact for the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian

- Halal is not offered
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a burger van, a hog roast stands out. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
