About our hog roast hire in East Studdal
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. We are often asked to cater christmas fairs and clubhouse events, with coleslaw, new potatoes and crackling.
Somewhere as small as East Studdal, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
