How our hog roast for events works in Filmore Hill
Village fêtes around Filmore Hill suit a hog roast: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. Typical bookings include vintage rallies and country shows, with halloumi skewers, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
At a field event near Filmore Hill, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
