How our hog roast for events works in Postling Green
Charity fundraisers in Postling Green can use a hog roast to draw people in. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest how it could work. Typical bookings include church and village fêtes and club events, with crackling, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
A fête near Postling Green might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Make the stall easy to find
- Balance the food line-up
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
