Hog roast for events near New Hythe
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for club events and car and steam shows.
Near New Hythe, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
