Hog roast hire in Gundleton
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
About our hog roast hire in Gundleton
In Gundleton, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. Popular choices include salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater sports clubs and societies and christmas parties.
In a hamlet or village like Gundleton, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Gundleton: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Gundleton close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Light matters for a long roast: in Gundleton, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Planning help
For event organisers in Gundleton
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
