Hog roast hire in Wotton, carved to order
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We serve hog roast rolls, salads and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for wakes and memorial gatherings and christmas parties.
