Hog roast for events in Shillinglee, carved to order
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. There are options for most visitors. For PTA summer fairs and charity fundraisers, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
At a field event near Shillinglee, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
