Hog roast hire for Ditton
Hog roast hire in Ditton, slow-roasted on site
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Whether it’s village fêtes and school fairs and festive gatherings, we can cook spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes and more.
Somewhere as small as Ditton, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Questions from Ditton
Could you cook in Ditton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Ditton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How does hog roast hire work?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Site access
- Travel to Ditton
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Apple sauce
- Coleslaw
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Is a hog roast right for your event?

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Light matters for a long roast: around Ditton, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- 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.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
