Hog roast for events in Up Somborne
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from other traders
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Hog roast for events in Up Somborne, carved to order
Village fêtes around Up Somborne suit a hog roast: the smell draws people over, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. For summer fêtes and vintage rallies, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
At a field event near Up Somborne, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
We carve to order through the agreed hours.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas makes a good food line-up. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
