Hog roast hire for Church Whitfield
How our hog roast hire works in Church Whitfield
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Church Whitfield, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve crackling, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we are frequently booked for parties at home and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Somewhere as small as Church Whitfield, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Late September evenings in Church Whitfield lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Gather dietary requirements early
