Hog roast hire in Pell Green, carved to order
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Pell Green, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. For christmas fairs and work summer parties, we can cook crackling, coleslaw and hog roast rolls and more.
In a small place like Pell Green, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

FAQs for Pell Green
Is Pell Green close to London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London.
We’re gathering after a service at Rehoboth Chapel: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Pell Green
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- A clear quote with everything listed
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Planned to your running order

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

What else we do in Pell Green
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
