Hog roast for events near Lower Bourne
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. We are frequently asked to cater country shows and summer fêtes, serving rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Lower Bourne are made for a hog roast. Send us the pitch and access details. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What happens on the day
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. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Lower Bourne are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.

- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
