Hog roast hire in Bogle, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Bogle: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include clubhouse events and garden parties and barbecues, serving hog roast rolls, salads and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Bogle, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

- Put the menu on the invitation
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

Should I cook it myself?

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
