Hog roast hire in Bowling Alley, carved to order
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. For birthdays and anniversaries and club events and presentations, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Bowling Alley, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.

Catered or do it yourself?

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- How long the roast and service take
