About our hog roast for events in Totton
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. We are frequently asked to cater car shows and rallies and PTA summer fairs, with halloumi skewers, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Community events in Totton often rely on a few good food stalls. A hog roast is one visitors will queue for. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
