Hog roast hire in Brook, carved to order
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include corporate events and gatherings after a funeral, serving coleslaw, salads and spit-roast lamb.
For a rural spot like Brook, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Our staff serve and clear
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Brook, the sun sets at about 9:20pm 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.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
