Hog roast hire for Mortimer
Hog roast hire in Mortimer, carved to order
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Mortimer, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. For community events and club events and presentations, we can cook salads, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
A place like Mortimer frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can host a hog roast with permission. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:

- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we are there for. You can get on with your event.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
