How our hog roast hire works in Hill Brow
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We are frequently asked to cater wakes and Fêtes, fairs and shows, with salads, crackling and halloumi skewers.
In a hamlet or village like Hill Brow, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Why choose a hog roast in Hill Brow?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which usually keeps the cost down. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Hill Brow hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- All the equipment comes with us

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.

The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late September evenings in Hill Brow lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
