How our hog roast for events works in Milton Heights
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. For tournaments and sports days and church and village fêtes, we can cook rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
At a field event near Milton Heights, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, Milton Heights is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
