About our hog roast hire in Northington
In Northington, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. We are frequently asked to cater milestone birthdays and Fêtes, fairs and shows, with salads, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Somewhere as small as Northington, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
What affects the price in Northington
The biggest factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

What else we do in Northington
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Around midsummer it stays light in Northington until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
