Slow-roasted pork in Monxton
Hog roast hire in Monxton, slow-roasted on site
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater parties at home and big birthdays and anniversaries.
Somewhere like Monxton, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
