How our hog roast hire works in Peper Harow
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. Typical bookings include christmas fairs and sports clubs and societies, with halloumi skewers, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
In a hamlet or village like Peper Harow, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, sunset in Peper Harow is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
