Hog roast hire in Birch Hill, slow-roasted on site
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Birch Hill, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include sports clubs and societies and big birthdays and anniversaries, with spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.
In a smaller place like Birch Hill, a hog roast in the garden is frequently the simplest option: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Let us know how we reach the garden. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Evenings in Birch Hill stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
