Hog roast hire for Cowesfield Gate
How our hog roast hire works in Cowesfield Gate
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We serve coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we’re often booked for weddings, day or evening and corporate events.
For a rural spot like Cowesfield Gate, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Light matters for a long roast: in Cowesfield Gate, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
