Hog roast hire in Coxheath
About our hog roast hire in Coxheath
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Typical bookings include wakes and christmas fairs, with halloumi skewers, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
A place like Coxheath frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can host a hog roast with permission. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
