Slow-roasted pork in Pixham
About our hog roast hire in Pixham
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Pixham. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. Typical bookings include work summer parties and birthdays and anniversaries, serving salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
Somewhere like Pixham, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.

About 20 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Pixham Church: can you cater?

What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.

We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Will people get crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
For event organisers in Pixham
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
What happens on the day
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Pixham, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
