Hog roast for events near Chertsey

In Chertsey, one popular trader keeps it simple. A hog roast does that. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
