Hog roast hire in Hattingley
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Hog roast hire in Hattingley, slow-roasted on site
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Whether it is clubhouse events and summer garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and crackling and more.
Somewhere as small as Hattingley, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Your questions about a hog roast in Hattingley
Do you come out to small places like Hattingley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
