How our hog roast for events works in Yalding
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. On the menu are crackling, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for fun runs and sports events and PTA summer fairs.
At a field event near Yalding, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In December, Yalding is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
