About our hog roast hire in St. Ebbes

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Planning an evening hog roast in St. Ebbes?
