Hog roast hire for New Barn
Hog roast hire in New Barn, carved to order
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in New Barn, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it’s gatherings after a funeral and Fêtes, fairs and shows, we can cook salads, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken and more.
For a place the size of New Barn, your own garden is often the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
