Popular choices include crackling, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and we’re frequently booked for winter fairs and markets and winter open days.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
For event organisers in Dean Street
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Full catering or machine hire?

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
