- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information

If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
About our hog roast hire in Hethe

Other occasions in Hethe
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Our staff serve and clear

How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Hethe, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
