How our hog roast hire works in Mimbridge
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We’re often asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and milestone birthdays, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads.
In a hamlet or village like Mimbridge, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Around midsummer it stays light in Mimbridge until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Is a hog roast right for your event?

Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
Organising for someone else?
