Hog roast for events in Shalden Green, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Shalden Green attract visitors. We will talk through options with you. For fundraising events and community events, we will put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and apple sauce for your visitors.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

How it works

- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
