Hog roast hire in Pitch Place, carved to order
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Pitch Place, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve salads, new potatoes and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for weddings, day or evening and staff days and open days.
In a rural place like Pitch Place, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Who books hog roast hire in Pitch Place?
A hog roast suits big outdoor gatherings in Pitch Place: a whole hog goes a long way, and the carving is part of the event.
We’re regularly asked to cater a wide mix of occasions near Pitch Place, such as:
- Club events and presentations
- Corporate events
- Summer garden parties
- Community events

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
