About our hog roast for events in Headbourne Worthy
Country shows near Headbourne Worthy suit a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. Typical bookings include car shows and rallies and school events, serving apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls.
At a field event near Headbourne Worthy, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
For event organisers in Headbourne Worthy
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
