About our hog roast for events in Hammerwood
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Hammerwood. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. On the menu are apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for PTA summer fairs and charity fundraisers.
Near Hammerwood, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
