Slow-roasted pork in Harmans Water
How our hog roast hire works in Harmans Water
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Harmans Water: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. We serve new potatoes, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for wakes and weddings and receptions.
For a place the size of Harmans Water, your own garden is frequently the best venue: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Evenings in Harmans Water stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
