How our hog roast hire works in Fernhill
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. For community events and clubhouse events, we can cook crackling, coleslaw and salads.
In a rural place like Fernhill, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
