Hog roast hire for your event in Hawridge
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include milestone birthdays and weddings, day or evening, serving crackling, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Hawridge, a hog roast often 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. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.

Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.

What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.

A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
