At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. Whether it is PTA summer fairs and charity fundraisers, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and crackling for your visitors.
Rural events near St Mary in the Marsh can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.

Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.

Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Requirements vary. Let us know what you need.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
