Hog roast hire for your event in Abingworth
In Abingworth, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and evening food and milestone birthdays, serving hog roast rolls, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb.
In a small place like Abingworth, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Around midsummer it stays light in Abingworth until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
