A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which often makes it better value. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why book our hog roast in America Ground

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around America Ground, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- 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.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
