Hog roast hire in Hartfield, carved to order
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Hartfield, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We are often asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and sports clubs and societies, serving new potatoes, hog roast rolls and salads.
In a small place like Hartfield, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re 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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Evenings in Hartfield stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time
- Gather dietary requirements early
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Timed around your day
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
For event organisers in Hartfield
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
