Hog roast for events in Horne, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for tournaments and sports days and charity days.
A fête near Horne might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
For event organisers in Horne
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
