Hog roast for events in Holme Green, slow-roasted on site
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. There are options for most visitors. Whether it’s summer fêtes and club events, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken.
At a fête or show near Holme Green, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, events in Holme Green stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
