Party hog roast near Stone Hill
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for garden parties and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries.
In a small place like Stone Hill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
