A place like Woodmansterne frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can host a hog roast with permission. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
