Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we’re there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Hog roast hire for your event in Radfield
People book a hog roast in Radfield for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. On the menu are salads, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and evening food and big birthdays and anniversaries.
Somewhere like Radfield, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
