About our hog roast hire in Church Street
In Church Street, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Typical bookings include parties at home and corporate events, serving salads, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
In a rural place like Church Street, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved to order by a chef
See our pricing and the cost guide.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Around midsummer it stays light in Church Street until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is generally 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.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
