A hog roast near Aldworth
Hog roast hire for your event in Aldworth
People book a hog roast in Aldworth for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. We serve coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for wakes and corporate events.
In a small place like Aldworth, 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 bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late September evenings in Aldworth lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which typically keeps the cost down. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
