How our hog roast for events works in Grateley
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. For school events and vintage rallies, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken and more.
A fête near Grateley might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.
Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

What we serve, dish by dish

What else we do in Grateley
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
