About our hog roast hire in Woodcote Green
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and christmas fairs, serving crackling, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
