How our party hog roast works in High Halstow
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, so they can enjoy the party. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and apple sauce, and we are often booked for naming ceremonies and retirement parties.
A country party near High Halstow is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
