Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
How our hog roast hire works in Peel Common
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We are frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and corporate events, serving hog roast rolls, new potatoes and crackling.
For a rural spot like Peel Common, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.

Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, sunset in Peel Common is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Why choose a hog roast in Peel Common?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which generally keeps the cost down. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
