Padworth questions
Is Padworth too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Hog roast hire for your event in Padworth
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Padworth, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Whether it is weddings and receptions and corporate events, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes and more.
Somewhere like Padworth, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Around midsummer it stays light in Padworth until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- 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
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
