How our hog roast for events works in Middle Wallop
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast. Typical bookings include summer fêtes and vintage rallies, with apple sauce, crackling and halloumi skewers.
At a field event near Middle Wallop, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
