Hog roast hire for Lower North Dean
Hog roast hire for your event in Lower North Dean
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are hog roast rolls, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater garden parties and barbecues and clubhouse events.
In a hamlet or village like Lower North Dean, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
Send us the date, the address or HP14 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
