A hog roast near Foxendown
Hog roast hire in Foxendown, slow-roasted on site
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We’re frequently asked to cater birthdays and anniversaries and village fêtes and school fairs, serving coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and salads.
In a hamlet or village like Foxendown, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. By late September, sunset in Foxendown is around 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your guests
