Hog roast hire in Bishopsgate, carved to order
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include corporate events and community events, with rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
In a hamlet or village like Bishopsgate, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Bishopsgate questions
Can you do a hog roast in Windsor Great Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cater after a service at Royal Chapel of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
