Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
About our hog roast hire in Little Horsted
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it’s big birthdays and anniversaries and wakes, we can cook halloumi skewers, crackling and coleslaw.
In a rural place like Little Horsted, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Little Horsted: your questions answered
Is Little Horsted close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cater in Little Horsted?

How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like

Step by step
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Little Horsted, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
