Hog roast for events in Laverstoke, carved to order
Charity fundraisers in Laverstoke can use a hog roast to draw people in. We’ll talk through options with you. We’re often asked to cater school events and summer fêtes, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
At a field event near Laverstoke, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Late-May events in Laverstoke have light until about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
