Hog roast hire in Mill Lane, slow-roasted on site

For a rural spot like Mill Lane, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
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.
How we price a hog roast
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Allergies we should know about
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Mill Lane, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
