Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
How our hog roast hire works in Froyle
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, salads and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings and receptions and work summer parties.
In a small place like Froyle, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Can you work around our timings?

Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What do you need from us on the day?

- Your menu choices

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. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Our staff serve and clear
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Served at the time you choose
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evenings in Froyle stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
