What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Light matters for a long roast: in Gardeners Green, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.

Hog roast hire in Gardeners Green, slow-roasted on site
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Whether it is parties at home and big birthdays and anniversaries, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls and more.
In a rural place like Gardeners Green, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What else we do in Gardeners Green
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
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.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
