Corporate hog roast in West Hougham
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Lunchtime bookings in West Hougham are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area.
