About our hog roast hire in Micheldever Station
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. For festive gatherings and sports clubs and societies, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, halloumi skewers and salads.
Somewhere as small as Micheldever Station, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
