Slow-roasted pork in Pinewood Village
Hog roast hire for your event in Pinewood Village
In Pinewood Village, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. We’re frequently asked to cater big birthdays and anniversaries and christmas parties, with spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Around Pinewood Village, bookings are often at homes, village halls and playing fields. If access is tight, we will plan around it. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. By late September, sunset in Pinewood Village is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
