Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. For community events and staff days and open days, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and crackling.

Questions from Guestling
How far is Guestling from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Speckled Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
