Hog roast hire for Akeley
Hog roast hire in Akeley, slow-roasted on site
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We serve hog roast rolls, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for work summer parties and garden parties and barbecues.
In a rural place like Akeley, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Your questions about a hog roast in Akeley
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary): can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Akeley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How we price a hog roast
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
A hog roast compared with other options
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is generally the easier choice. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
