Hog roast hire for Hale Green
About our hog roast hire in Hale Green
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Hale Green, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We serve crackling, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for Fêtes, fairs and shows and sports clubs and societies.
In a hamlet or village like Hale Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A clear quote with everything listed

- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

FAQs for Hale Green
How far is Hale Green from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Hale Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
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.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Hale Green, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear 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 pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
