How our hog roast for events works in Chambers' Green
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Chambers' Green attract visitors. Tell us about the event and we will suggest how it could work. Popular choices include crackling, hog roast rolls and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for car shows and rallies and fun runs and sports events.
Near Chambers' Green, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
