A hog roast near Old Warren
Hog roast hire in Old Warren, slow-roasted on site
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We are frequently asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and wakes, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads.
Somewhere as small as Old Warren, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Access for our equipment, without steps
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Old Warren
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St.Saviours?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Old Warren?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.

We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
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.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
