A hog roast near Durley
Hog roast hire in Durley, slow-roasted on site
In Durley, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include wakes and sports clubs and societies, serving coleslaw, salads and new potatoes.
Somewhere like Durley, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In Durley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Durley
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- Whether you want china
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Common questions in Durley
Is Durley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Cross: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
