School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for school events and car shows and rallies.
Rural events near Halfway can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
