Hog roast hire in Birchett's Green, carved to order
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. Popular choices include coleslaw, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for club events and presentations and wakes and memorial gatherings.
Somewhere like Birchett's Green, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
