How our hog roast hire works in Martyr's Green
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Martyr's Green, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We are frequently asked to cater festive gatherings and clubhouse events, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
In a rural place like Martyr's Green, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Questions from Martyr's Green
Is Martyr's Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in The Forest and the Highlands?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you come to Martyr's Green?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
