Hog roast hire in Forest Park, carved to order
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Forest Park. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. Popular choices include salads, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for weddings, day or evening and village fêtes and school fairs.
A place like Forest Park often has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Forest Park questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Forest Park?
Forest Park has its own station: Martins Heron station.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Around midsummer it stays light in Forest Park until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Why choose a hog roast in Forest Park?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which normally keeps the cost down. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What we serve, dish by dish

A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
How we price a hog roast
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Travel to Forest Park
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
