Hog roast hire for your event in Flimwell

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved to order by a chef
- Timed around your day
