Hog roast hire in West Peckham
About our hog roast hire in West Peckham
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 does not eat pork. We are often asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and big birthdays and anniversaries, with rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
In a rural place like West Peckham, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Light matters for a long roast: around West Peckham, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
