About our hog roast for events in Fordingbridge

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Why choose a hog roast in Fordingbridge?
Compared with cold food stalls, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Make the stall easy to find
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Balance the food line-up
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Permission for cooking on the site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
