Slow-roasted pork in Chart Sutton
Hog roast hire in Chart Sutton, slow-roasted on site
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Typical bookings include staff days and open days and wakes, serving spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
In a hamlet or village like Chart Sutton, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Chart Sutton, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about shelter for your guests

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
