Slow-roasted pork in Amport
Hog roast hire in Amport, slow-roasted on site
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Whether it’s garden parties and barbecues and work summer parties, we’ll put together a menu of salads, new potatoes and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In a rural place like Amport, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
What affects the price in Amport
The price comes down to:
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Light matters for a long roast: around Amport, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
