Hog roast for events for Winterbourne
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Winterbourne are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Can you come to a school fair in Winterbourne?

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Let us know what you need.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.

Why choose a hog roast in Winterbourne?
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Carved to order by a chef
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Our staff serve and clear

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
