Hog roast for events in Ramsdell, carved to order
Village fêtes around Ramsdell suit a hog roast: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. For car shows and rallies and church and village fêtes, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, crackling and rotisserie chicken for your visitors.
Rural events near Ramsdell can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
