About our hog roast hire in Durrant Green
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. We serve salads, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for wakes and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
For a rural spot like Durrant Green, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Durrant Green, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
