Hog roast hire in East Peckham, slow-roasted on site
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Whether it is sports clubs and societies and wakes, we can cook spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and crackling for your guests.
In a small place like East Peckham, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.

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. By late September, sunset in East Peckham is around 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

How does hog roast hire work?

Is a hog roast right for your event?
