About our party hog roast in St Paul's Cray
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen. We serve apple sauce, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and neighbourhood parties.
Throwing a party in St Paul's Cray? A hog roast means no cooking for you, at home or a hall with a garden. A long roast means a word with the neighbours. 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.

The menu, dish by dish
