About our hog roast for events in Warborne
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Warborne attract visitors. We will talk through options with you. We are frequently asked to cater charity fundraisers and community days and street fairs, with crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
A fête near Warborne might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Warborne are dark by about 4:05pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
