Hog roast hire in Mullenspond, slow-roasted on site
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Mullenspond, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We’re frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and weddings, day or evening, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
In a hamlet or village like Mullenspond, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Light matters for a long roast: around Mullenspond, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
For event organisers in Mullenspond
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
