How our hog roast hire works in Hammill Park
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Hammill Park, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for club events and presentations and corporate events.
In a small place like Hammill Park, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Organising for someone else?
