Slow-roasted pork in Boxford
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
About our hog roast hire in Boxford
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Popular choices include salads, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and we’re often booked for gatherings after a funeral and milestone birthdays.
Somewhere like Boxford, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.

What else we do in Boxford
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Where the roaster can go in Boxford
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo

What affects the price in Boxford
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:

- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
