Hog roast hire in Hyde, slow-roasted on site
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Hyde, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for community events and gatherings after a funeral.
In a rural place like Hyde, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. 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.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

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. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Perfect for your event in Hyde
It is generous, hearty food that most people love, and lamb, chicken and vegetarian options look after the rest.

Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late September evenings in Hyde lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:05pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
