- The serving time and how long we are on site

About our hog roast for events in Brighstone
Village fêtes around Brighstone suit a hog roast: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. We are often asked to cater village fêtes and school events, with crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
A fête near Brighstone might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
