Hog roast hire in Sandleford, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We are often asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and summer garden parties, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Somewhere like Sandleford, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
