Hog roast hire for your event in Horne
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve new potatoes, crackling and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for staff days and open days and weddings, day or evening.
In a small place like Horne, a hog roast frequently 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 roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Perfect for your event in Horne
There’s very little for you to organise: just an outdoor spot for the roaster. Everything else comes with us.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Serving and clearing done for you
