Slow-roasted pork in Faberstown
Hog roast hire in Faberstown, slow-roasted on site
In Faberstown, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas parties and community events, with spit-roast lamb, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Somewhere as small as Faberstown, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Light matters for a long roast: in Faberstown, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed

- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
