Hog roast hire for Holmwood Corner
How our hog roast hire works in Holmwood Corner
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and salads, and typical bookings are for sports clubs and societies and big birthdays and anniversaries.
In a small place like Holmwood Corner, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Parking near the spot
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Holmwood Corner, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Name a contact for the day

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
