Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
How our hog roast hire works in East Farleigh
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. For garden parties and barbecues and village fêtes and school fairs, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes and more.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Spit-roast lamb
- Apple sauce
- Stuffing
- Coleslaw
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Common questions in East Farleigh
Can you cater after a service at Church of Saint Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Quarry Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
