A hog roast near Argos Hill
Hog roast hire in Argos Hill, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. Typical bookings include sports clubs and societies and summer garden parties, with new potatoes, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Somewhere as small as Argos Hill, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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 it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Evenings in Argos Hill stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
