Hog roast for events in Hyde End, slow-roasted on site

At a field event near Hyde End, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
