Party hog roast in Yopps Green, slow-roasted on site
For a christening or naming day in Yopps Green, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, without anyone stuck cooking. For 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and garden parties, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, coleslaw and apple sauce.
In a small place like Yopps Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
