Hog roast hire in Langstone
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How our hog roast hire works in Langstone
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. For wedding breakfasts and evening food and wakes, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, salads and coleslaw.
For a rural spot like Langstone, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Langstone, 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’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Do you come out to small places like Langstone?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How does hog roast hire work?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Will people get crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
