About hog roast hire in TN7
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. We serve new potatoes, crackling and coleslaw, and we are frequently booked for christmas fairs and weddings and receptions.
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
