How our hog roast for events works in Grayshott
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater vintage rallies and school fairs and sports days.
Events near Grayshott are frequently volunteer-run, so a self-contained hog roast helps. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
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.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- A queuing area
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
