Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Hog roast hire in Loxhill, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Loxhill: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. For christmas fairs and village fêtes and school fairs, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and hog roast rolls and more.
In a small place like Loxhill, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
How we price a hog roast
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Loxhill hosts choose us
- Our staff serve and clear
- All the equipment comes with us

Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. By late September, sunset in Loxhill is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
