How our hog roast for events works in Micheldever
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. For fundraising events and school events, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Near Micheldever, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- An itemised quote
