Hog roast hire for your event in Witney
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. For clubhouse events and village fêtes and school fairs, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and new potatoes for your guests.
A town like Witney gives you plenty of options: your own garden, a club, a hall or a pub garden. We’ll agree where the roaster goes beforehand. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
