Slow-roasted pork in Charter Alley
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Hog roast hire for your event in Charter Alley
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Charter Alley, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and staff days and open days, serving hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.
In a hamlet or village like Charter Alley, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Timed around your day
