About our hog roast hire in Bowlhead Green
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Popular choices include new potatoes, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for village fêtes and school fairs and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Somewhere like Bowlhead Green, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
