A hog roast near Bunkers Hill
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Hog roast hire in Bunkers Hill, carved to order
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Typical bookings include clubhouse events and christmas parties, serving coleslaw, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In a hamlet or village like Bunkers Hill, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
