How our hog roast hire works in Ellen's Green
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Ellen's Green, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve new potatoes, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and summer garden parties.
In a small place like Ellen's Green, a hog roast frequently 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. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which typically keeps the cost down. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
Take a look at how we price and what a hog roast costs.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- Travel to Ellen's Green
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
