About our hog roast hire in Hatchford End
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We serve new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and milestone birthdays.
Somewhere as small as Hatchford End, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Hatchford End, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Questions from Hatchford End
Could you cook in Manor Farm?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Hatchford End?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Is it just pork?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
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.
