Hog roast hire in Berwick, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Berwick: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Popular choices include coleslaw, salads and crackling, and we’re often booked for weddings and receptions and christmas fairs.
In a rural place like Berwick, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours.

Among the historic houses close to Berwick are Westenhanger Castle (0.9 miles north). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before you book.

Your questions about a hog roast in Berwick
Which station is closest to Berwick?
The closest is Westenhanger station, roughly 1 mile away.
Could you cook in Sandling Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Will people get crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
