Hog roast hire in Hartley Mauditt, carved to order

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. In Hartley Mauditt, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.

- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
