Hog roast hire for your event in Botolph Claydon
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. Whether it is work summer parties and gatherings after a funeral, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and crackling.
In a small place like Botolph Claydon, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours.

FAQs for Botolph Claydon
Do you come out to small places like Botolph Claydon?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved to order by a chef

The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Botolph Claydon, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about shelter for your guests

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
