Hog roast hire for your event in Boughton Aluph
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Typical bookings include clubhouse events and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.
In a hamlet or village like Boughton Aluph, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
For event organisers in Boughton Aluph
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Light matters for a long roast: around Boughton Aluph, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
