Hog roast for events in Borden, carved to order
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. For country shows and village fêtes, we can cook hog roast rolls, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
At a field event near Borden, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Show allergens at the stall
We serve as the queue moves.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

How it works
