Hog roast hire for your event in Crosswater
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. For birthdays and anniversaries and gatherings after a funeral, we can cook new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Somewhere like Crosswater, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Events we cater in Crosswater
It is generous, hearty food that most people love, and lamb, chicken and vegetarian options look after the rest.
In Crosswater and nearby, we cater for all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:

Thinking of a hog roast in The Flashes? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Any travel or access charges
- Who carves and who serves
- If the price includes VAT
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Late September evenings in Crosswater lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Name a contact for the day
