Hog roast hire for your event in East Hanney
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We are often asked to cater big birthdays and anniversaries and work summer parties, serving coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like East Hanney, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Around midsummer it stays light in East Hanney until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, 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 share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
