Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
About our hog roast hire in Quidhampton
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We serve hog roast rolls, coleslaw and salads, and typical bookings are for weddings and receptions and sports clubs and societies.
Somewhere like Quidhampton, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What else we do in Quidhampton
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- A photo of the cooking area
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
