Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.

The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.

We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
What is hog roast hire?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.

About our hog roast hire in Henwood
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. On the menu are new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater club events and presentations and milestone birthdays.
Somewhere as small as Henwood, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Around midsummer it stays light in Henwood until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- 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
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
