Hog roast for events in Mile Oak
How our hog roast for events works in Mile Oak
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. For food and music festivals and summer fêtes, we can cook hog roast rolls, crackling and apple sauce.
Near Mile Oak, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, events in Mile Oak stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
