About our hog roast for events in Monk Sherborne
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Tell us how you’d like it to work. We are frequently asked to cater summer fêtes and club events, with apple sauce, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage.
Rural events near Monk Sherborne can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
What affects the price in Monk Sherborne
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Make the stall easy to find
- Show allergens at the stall
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A firm way on and off the field
- Details of what the event requires
- Event approval for hot-food traders
