About our hog roast hire in Catmore
In Catmore, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include parties at home and staff days and open days, serving coleslaw, new potatoes and crackling.
In a hamlet or village like Catmore, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
What happens on the day

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Planned to your running order

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
