Book a hog roast in Leigh Green
How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Light matters for a long roast: around Leigh Green, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- 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 pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Why choose a hog roast in Leigh Green?
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Fresh carving at the serving station
