Hog roast for events near Filchampstead
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Filchampstead. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. Whether it is community days and street fairs and food and music festivals, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
At a field event near Filchampstead, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
