About our hog roast hire in Padworth Common
In Padworth Common, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater corporate events and sports clubs and societies.
Somewhere as small as Padworth Common, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Light matters for a long roast: around Padworth Common, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day

- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
