Hog roast hire in Gun Hill, carved to order
In Gun Hill, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, salads and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for wakes and memorial gatherings and big birthdays and anniversaries.
In a hamlet or village like Gun Hill, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Where the roaster can go in Gun Hill
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Access for our equipment, without steps

How we price a hog roast
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
A hog roast is frequently 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.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
Send us the date, the address or TN21 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- An itemised quote

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
