The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Evenings in Boars Hill stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Name a contact for the day

Hog roast hire in Boars Hill, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Typical bookings include festive gatherings and community events, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Somewhere as small as Boars Hill, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Catered or do it yourself?

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.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which usually keeps the cost down. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Our staff serve and clear
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
