Slow-roasted pork in Fickleshole
Hog roast hire in Fickleshole, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Fickleshole: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. We serve salads, coleslaw and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings, day or evening and wakes and memorial gatherings.
Somewhere as small as Fickleshole, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning for dietary needs

- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
