A hog roast near Blashford
Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Blashford hosts choose us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Served at the time you choose
- No surprises: everything in writing

About our hog roast hire in Blashford
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, salads and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for weddings and receptions and milestone birthdays.
For a rural spot like Blashford, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Late September evenings in Blashford lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:05pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Catered or do it yourself?

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
