Slow-roasted pork in Mystole
How our hog roast hire works in Mystole
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s hog roast hire in Mystole. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. We serve hog roast rolls, crackling and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and christmas parties.
For a rural spot like Mystole, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. 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.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

Prices and what affects them

- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
