Hog roast hire for Red Rice
About our hog roast hire in Red Rice
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Red Rice, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We’re often asked to cater weddings, day or evening and village fêtes and school fairs, with new potatoes, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb.
For a rural spot like Red Rice, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Evenings in Red Rice stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
