Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Hog roast for events near Andover
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Andover. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Typical bookings include fun runs and sports events and food and music festivals, with a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and crackling.
A town like Andover has schools, churches, clubs and parks that run events through the year. It suits any of them. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Looking after everyone
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
