Hog roast hire for your event in Lower Padworth
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Lower Padworth: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for birthdays and anniversaries and clubhouse events.
In a rural place like Lower Padworth, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
How we price a hog roast
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner

A hog roast compared with other options

Lower Padworth questions
Is Lower Padworth close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
