About our hog roast hire in Midgham Green
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We’re frequently asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and club events and presentations, with spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and new potatoes.
Somewhere as small as Midgham Green, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Midgham Green, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
