Wedding hog roast in Upper Denford, carved to order

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
