How our hog roast for events works in Mount Pleasant
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. We serve halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for summer fêtes and tournaments and sports days.
A fête near Mount Pleasant might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
