Hog roast for events for Danaway
Hog roast for events in Danaway, slow-roasted on site
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. Whether it’s summer fêtes and horse and dog shows, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken for your visitors.
At a field event near Danaway, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
