About our hog roast hire in Punnett's Town
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Punnett's Town. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. For sports clubs and societies and staff days and open days, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, crackling and rotisserie chicken and more.
Somewhere as small as Punnett's Town, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
