How our hog roast hire works in Midgham
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas fairs and Fêtes, fairs and shows, serving hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw.
Somewhere as small as Midgham, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Light matters for a long roast: around Midgham, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.

Why choose a hog roast in Midgham?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is generally the easier choice. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
