Hog roast hire for Milcombe
About our hog roast hire in Milcombe
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and shows and summer garden parties, with crackling, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
Somewhere as small as Milcombe, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which usually keeps the cost down. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Timed around your day
- No surprises: everything in writing

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
