How our hog roast hire works in Neames Forstal
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 doesn’t eat pork. Whether it is garden parties and barbecues and festive gatherings, we can cook spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw for your guests.
In a rural place like Neames Forstal, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
