About our hog roast for events in Womenswold
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Tell us how you’d like it to work. On the menu are apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for small festivals and car and steam shows.
Near Womenswold, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Catered or do it yourself?

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
