Hog roast hire in North Halling
Hog roast hire for your event in North Halling
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. Popular choices include new potatoes, salads and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater big birthdays and anniversaries and christmas parties.
Somewhere like North Halling, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How much does a hog roast cost?

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.

Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
- A picture of the cooking area
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late September evenings in North Halling lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
