Slow-roasted pork in Coldwaltham
Hog roast hire for your event in Coldwaltham
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Coldwaltham: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. For work summer parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we can cook crackling, coleslaw and salads.
Somewhere as small as Coldwaltham, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

What affects the price in Coldwaltham
Your quote depends on:

- How easy it is to reach the spot
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A photo of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Coldwaltham, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
