Hog roast hire in TN35: what to expect
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. On the menu are crackling, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls, and we’re frequently booked for garden parties and barbecues and milestone birthdays.
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
