Hog roast hire in Knotty Green, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Knotty Green: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for Fêtes, fairs and shows and clubhouse events.
In a small place like Knotty Green, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Knotty Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

FAQs for Knotty Green
Do you come out to small places like Knotty Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
