Hog roast for events in Southborough, carved to order
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’re frequently asked to cater church and village fêtes and community days and street fairs, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage.
Events in Southborough range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces usually need council permission, and the roaster needs a pitch with clearance. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Southborough questions
Can you do a hog roast in Jubilee Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Southborough has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What do you need from the organiser?
Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you do a school fair?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you come to Southborough?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- All the equipment comes with us
- An itemised quote

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Southborough are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
