About our hog roast for events in Erriottwood
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. Typical bookings include food and music festivals and church and village fêtes, with apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers.
At a field event near Erriottwood, 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.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
