Hog roast hire for your event in Bentley
In Bentley, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Whether it’s gatherings after a funeral and club events and presentations, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, salads and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In a small place like Bentley, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Bentley questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Bentley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Evenings in Bentley stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
