Hog roast hire in Hurst Green, carved to order
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Hurst Green, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Typical bookings include community events and wakes and memorial gatherings, with spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
In a small place like Hurst Green, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
For event organisers in Hurst Green
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
