About our hog roast for events in Flackley Ash
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. There are options for most visitors. Whether it’s car and steam shows and club events, we can cook apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
At a field event near Flackley Ash, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
