Slow-roasted pork in Lower Twydall
About our hog roast hire in Lower Twydall
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Lower Twydall, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings, day or evening and club events and presentations.
In a small place like Lower Twydall, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Access for our equipment, without steps
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
