About our hog roast hire in Grange
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We are often asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and weddings and receptions, with new potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
In a hamlet or village like Grange, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Why choose hog roast hire in Grange?
Slow roasting can’t be faked: tender pork and proper crackling, carved fresh for every roll.
We are regularly asked to cater all sorts of events around Grange, such as:
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Weddings and receptions
- Christmas parties

If you had Riverside Country Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park.

Grange questions
Is Grange too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Grange close to London?
About 30 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What meats can we have?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
