How our hog roast hire works in Hammerpot
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is hog roast hire in Hammerpot. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. For village fêtes and school fairs and sports clubs and societies, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers and more.
Somewhere like Hammerpot, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Hammerpot, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option

On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Planned to your running order
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
