How our hog roast hire works in Pickhurst
People book a hog roast in Pickhurst for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Typical bookings include weddings and receptions and christmas fairs, serving spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
In a hamlet or village like Pickhurst, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- No surprises: everything in writing
Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Put the menu on the invitation
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Parking near the spot
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Evenings in Pickhurst stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
