Party hog roast in Coursehorn, slow-roasted on site
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. Popular choices include coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and typical bookings are for wedding anniversaries and leaving and retirement do’s.
In a small place like Coursehorn, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Sunset in Coursehorn is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
