Rural events near Binley can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Show allergens at the stall
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We serve as the queue moves.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
