About our hog roast for events in Badshot Lea
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for fun runs and sports events and school events.
A fête near Badshot Lea might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
