Hog roast hire in Fosten Green
Hog roast hire for your event in Fosten Green
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We serve halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for weddings, day or evening and summer garden parties.
In a rural place like Fosten Green, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Fosten Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
