Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.

Is it pay as you go?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will work it out together.

Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
