How our party hog roast works in Murrell Green
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 crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and christenings.
Near Murrell Green, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
