Hog roast for events in Forest Corner
About our hog roast for events in Forest Corner
Country shows near Forest Corner suit a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. We are frequently asked to cater club events and summer fêtes, with a vegan burger or sausage, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
At a field event near Forest Corner, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Is Forest Corner too small for a hog roast?
