Hog roast for events in Somerton, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Somerton. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater car and steam shows and country shows.
A fête near Somerton might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
