Hog roast hire for your event in Horton
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. For wakes and memorial gatherings and christmas parties, we can cook coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In a rural place like Horton, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
For event organisers in Horton
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Horton, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
