Hog roast hire in Hempton, slow-roasted on site
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. For Fêtes, fairs and shows and work summer parties, we can cook spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and coleslaw for your guests.
Somewhere like Hempton, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Around midsummer it stays light in Hempton until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, 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.

Can you do gluten-free?

How we price a hog roast
Your quote depends on:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The date and time of year

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
