About our hog roast hire in Landport
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Landport, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it is gatherings after a funeral and Fêtes, fairs and shows, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, coleslaw and halloumi skewers for your guests.
There may be a hall or playing field near Landport if the garden is small; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Evenings in Landport stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Why choose a hog roast in Landport?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
