Hog roast for events for Boarhunt
About our hog roast for events in Boarhunt
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Boarhunt. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. On the menu are halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for fundraising events and school events.
At a field event near Boarhunt, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
