Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How our hog roast hire works in East Chiltington
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in East Chiltington: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. We serve new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for club events and presentations and christmas parties.
Somewhere like East Chiltington, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
