Hog roast for events in Rusthall, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Rusthall. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. For agricultural and country shows and fundraising events, we will put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and apple sauce and more.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
