The Big Dorchester Hog Roast Event
Welcome to Dorset Hog Roast and BBQ's - Dorchester
Dorchester still has some Roman features, including part of the town walls and the foundations of a Roman town house, which are freely accessible near the County Hall. There are many Roman finds in the County Museum. The Romans built an 8-mile aqueduct to supply the town with water, lengths of the terrace on which it was constructed still remain in parts. Near the town centre is many of different places to hold an hog roast event. We go to Dorchester and the surrounding area’s at least twice a month to cater for different events!
So we can provide the most succulent and tender hog roasts possible, we roast the free range hog for ten hours. This produces ‘pulled pork’ which literally falls off the bone and the crackling is also as good as it gets!
View our Dorset customers recommendations (yes, real people!) who all praise our fantastic hog roast.
Because we roast our hogs for twice as long as most other caterers, it would be impractical to cook from start on site so we start spit roasting at our premises then transport the roasting hog in the oven to the event where it continues roasting until serving.
This process is also much less intrusive because we do not need all day access however the guests still experience the unique sight and aroma of roasting hog.
Due to the use of a top quality marquee, the Dorchester hog roast experience can still be guaranteed if it rains. The hog can be roasted outside then taken indoors for serving.
It is important that you let us have an accurate guest number so that a suitable hog can be provided to ensure that all your guests are well fed.
200gms of meat per person is ample. A typical hog of 55kgs provides about 65% of delicious meat or about 35.75 kilos which is around 357gms for an event of a hundred guests, ensuring lots of seconds!
