Hog roast for events near Durrant Green
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Durrant Green. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Typical bookings include community days and street fairs and food and music festivals, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
At a field event near Durrant Green, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
