Hog roast for events in Mindenhurst, slow-roasted on site
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. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and we are often booked for PTA summer fairs and fundraising events.
Rural events near Mindenhurst can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Any paperwork the organisers need
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, Mindenhurst is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
