Hog roast for events in Twyford, carved to order
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and apple sauce, and we’re frequently booked for festivals and country shows.
At a fête or show near Twyford, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, Twyford is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us a contact number for the day
