What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
How our hog roast hire works in Forest Hill
In Forest Hill, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. For big birthdays and anniversaries and summer garden parties, we can cook hog roast rolls, crackling and salads for your guests.
In a small place like Forest Hill, 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 level, firm ground is the key.

Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Here are some of the most popular:

If you had Shotover Country Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Late September evenings in Forest Hill lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- All the equipment comes with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Forest Hill: your questions answered
Is Forest Hill too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Shotover Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What is hog roast hire?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

We cover Oxfordshire and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
