A hog roast near Hannington
Hog roast hire in Hannington, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Hannington: 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. On the menu are new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we’re often booked for christmas parties and staff days and open days.
In a hamlet or village like Hannington, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Why choose a hog roast in Hannington?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is generally the easier choice. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Hannington, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- We start with a few details 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.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
