Hog roast for events near Lashenden
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We’re self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. For town and village days and fundraising events, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
Rural events near Lashenden can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
