Hog roast for events for Bicknor
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How our hog roast for events works in Bicknor
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Tell us how you’d like it to work. Whether it’s car shows and rallies and summer fêtes, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and apple sauce and more.
At a fête or show near Bicknor, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours.
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Bicknor
Is Bicknor too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Bicknor close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you do a school fair?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What will our event need from you?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
