Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we’re there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Hog roast hire in Hambrook, carved to order
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Hambrook, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas parties and Fêtes, fairs and shows, with halloumi skewers, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb.
Somewhere like Hambrook, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which normally keeps the cost down. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
