How our hog roast hire works in Oare
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s hog roast hire in Oare. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. Whether it’s wedding breakfasts and evening food and christmas parties, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Oare, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
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.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
