For event organisers in Crossbush
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Hog roast hire in Crossbush, carved to order
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Whether it is village fêtes and school fairs and gatherings after a funeral, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Somewhere as small as Crossbush, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Light matters for a long roast: around Crossbush, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, 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.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
