Hog roast for events in Upper North Dean, carved to order
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. Whether it’s vintage rallies and school events, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers for your visitors.
At a field event near Upper North Dean, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, events in Upper North Dean stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
