Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is typically the easier choice. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- All the equipment comes with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose

Hog roast hire for your event in Frilsham
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s hog roast hire in Frilsham.

FAQs for Frilsham
How far is Frilsham from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Frideswide?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How does hog roast hire work?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information

On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Around midsummer it stays light in Frilsham until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
