Hog roast hire for your event in Owlswick
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Owlswick, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and birthdays and anniversaries, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
In a rural place like Owlswick, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Planning the cooking spot

- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planners, venues and businesses
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.
