Slow-roasted pork in Frensham
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Hog roast for events in Frensham, slow-roasted on site
Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day. On the menu are apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for club events and agricultural and country shows.
A fête near Frensham might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How we price a hog roast for your event
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
