Hog roast hire in Hoyle, slow-roasted on site
In Hoyle, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for staff days and open days and wakes.
Somewhere like Hoyle, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In Hoyle, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Name a contact for the day

Hoyle: your questions answered

Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
