For event organisers in Charing Hill
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How our hog roast hire works in Charing Hill
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. We serve crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for club events and presentations and christmas parties.
In a rural place like Charing Hill, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. By late September, sunset in Charing Hill is around 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Planning for dietary needs

- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages

We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who does not eat it. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
