Hog roast hire in Breamore, slow-roasted on site
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads, and typical bookings are for summer garden parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
