Hog roast hire for Burghclere Common
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
How our hog roast hire works in Burghclere Common
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. Whether it is Fêtes, fairs and shows and summer garden parties, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Somewhere as small as Burghclere Common, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
