A hog roast near Lordington
Hog roast hire in Lordington, carved to order
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We are often asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and shows and milestone birthdays, with crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
In a hamlet or village like Lordington, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Questions from Lordington
Do you come out to small places like Lordington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Stansted Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Lordington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Name a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
