Slow-roasted pork in Hillstreet
Hog roast hire in Hillstreet, slow-roasted on site
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s hog roast hire in Hillstreet. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, crackling and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings, day or evening and milestone birthdays.
Somewhere as small as Hillstreet, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Evenings in Hillstreet stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Each price is built from:
- Distance from us

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken

Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
