Hog roast hire in Frogham, carved to order
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Whether it’s work summer parties and wakes, we can cook coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
In a rural place like Frogham, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late September evenings in Frogham lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
