Slow-roasted pork in Little Barrington
How our hog roast hire works in Little Barrington
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Whether it is summer garden parties and christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, coleslaw and crackling and more.
In a rural place like Little Barrington, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Planning an evening hog roast in Little Barrington? Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
FAQs for Little Barrington
Is Little Barrington too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.

A hog roast compared with other options
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
