A hog roast near Middleton
About our hog roast hire in Middleton
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. For weddings and receptions and big birthdays and anniversaries, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers and more.
Somewhere as small as Middleton, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs

- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
