Hog roast hire for your event in Maresfield
In Maresfield, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include big birthdays and anniversaries and staff days and open days, serving coleslaw, crackling and new potatoes.
In a small place like Maresfield, 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 firm, level ground matters most. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:

- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By late September, sunset in Maresfield is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
