Hog roast hire in Long Sutton, carved to order
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. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and birthdays and anniversaries, serving crackling, new potatoes and salads.
For a rural spot like Long Sutton, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Long Sutton, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Long Sutton hosts choose us
