Hog roast for events in Elvetham, carved to order
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. Typical bookings include school events and club events, serving hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage.
At a field event near Elvetham, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
