Hog roast hire in Black Bourton, carved to order
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Typical bookings include staff days and open days and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving spit-roast lamb, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Somewhere as small as Black Bourton, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Black Bourton, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Common questions in Black Bourton
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Black Bourton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
