Hog roast hire for your event in Greatham
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Whether it’s wakes and parties at home, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb.
In a small place like Greatham, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, sunset in Greatham is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
