Hog roast hire in Redlands, slow-roasted on site
In Redlands, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and salads, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and christmas fairs.
In a hamlet or village like Redlands, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
What affects the price in Redlands
Things that change the price:
- The journey to the venue

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
