Hog roast hire for Cothill
How our hog roast hire works in Cothill
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater club events and presentations and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Somewhere like Cothill, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Around midsummer it stays light in Cothill until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
Where the roaster can go in Cothill
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
