How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Light matters for a long roast: in Littleworth Corner, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare

Hog roast hire for your event in Littleworth Corner
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We serve halloumi skewers, coleslaw and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and wakes and memorial gatherings.
Somewhere like Littleworth Corner, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Littleworth Corner questions
Is Littleworth Corner too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Anne: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Looking after everyone

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

A hog roast compared with other options
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Our staff serve and clear
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
