How our party hog roast works in Lower Farringdon
Party food needs to be easy to eat, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are frequently booked for leaving and retirement do’s and street parties.
In a small place like Lower Farringdon, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. A summer party in Lower Farringdon stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
