About our hog roast for events in Froyle
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. On the menu are apple sauce, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are regularly asked to cater town and village days and summer fêtes.
Rural events near Froyle can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We serve as the queue moves.
