Book a hog roast in Bull Hill
Hog roast hire in Bull Hill, slow-roasted on site
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Bull Hill. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. Whether it’s sports clubs and societies and garden parties and barbecues, we can cook coleslaw, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
In a hamlet or village like Bull Hill, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

- Ask about allergies when you send invitations

- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
