Hog roast hire in Barnes Street
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How our hog roast hire works in Barnes Street
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Barnes Street, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. For christmas parties and garden parties and barbecues, we can cook salads, new potatoes and coleslaw for your guests.
Somewhere like Barnes Street, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we’re there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
