Hog roast for events in Vernham Dean, slow-roasted on site
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater village fêtes and town and village days.
A fête near Vernham Dean might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Show allergens at the stall
- Balance the food line-up
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Summer events in Vernham Dean have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
