How our hog roast for events works in Hare Hatch
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. Typical bookings include festivals and school events, serving apple sauce, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
At a field event near Hare Hatch, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
