For farms and rural sites near Ansty, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Full catering or machine hire?

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Looking after everyone

You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:

  • Keep alternatives clearly labelled
  • Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
  • Request gluten-free rolls
  • Share the allergen information with the team

We serve on time, keeping the queue moving.

Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Compared with a barbecue run by staff, everyone gets to join in. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Why Ansty hosts choose us

  • Carved by our chef in front of your staff
  • Timed around your day
  • Our staff serve and clear
  • A clear quote with everything listed

Space, access and the venue

A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:

  • A contact on site
  • Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
  • Shelter for the team

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Popular choices

  • Hog roast rolls
  • Crackling
  • Coleslaw
  • Vegan option (Ve)
  • Halloumi skewers (V)
  • Stuffing and apple sauce
  • Salads
  • Rotisserie chicken
  • Spit-roast lamb

How the day works

We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your staff will smell it long before they see it. After-work summer events in Ansty have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.

  1. Start with the date, site and numbers.
  2. We check with facilities and quote.
  3. We roast on site.
  4. We carve and serve quickly.
  5. We leave the site clean.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
  • Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
  • Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

When should we book?

The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.

Can you feed staff and families?

Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with alternatives for everyone.

What comes off the roaster

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.

Spit-roast lamb

Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.

  • Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
  • Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
  • Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
