At country workplaces around Chiddingstone Hoath, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
