Slow-roasted pork in North Stoneham
How our hog roast hire works in North Stoneham
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. Whether it is wakes and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we can cook salads, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb and more.
In a rural place like North Stoneham, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
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 check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A picture of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in North Stoneham, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You share the when, where and how many.

Getting ready for the day
