Hog roast hire in Allbrook, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Allbrook: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Whether it is parties at home and staff days and open days, we will put together a menu of salads, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls and more.
In and around Allbrook, gardens and village halls are common choices. If the lane is narrow, tell us so we can plan our vehicle. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late September evenings in Allbrook lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day
