Hog roast hire for Leigh Park
About our hog roast hire in Leigh Park
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. Typical bookings include weddings, day or evening and parties at home, serving halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
In and around Leigh Park, gardens and village halls are common choices. If access is tight, we’ll plan around it. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
