Hog roast hire for your event in Onslow Village
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. For clubhouse events and wakes, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes and more.
A place like Onslow Village frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can host a hog roast with permission. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Onslow Village
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
