A hog roast near Rotherwick
Hog roast hire in Rotherwick, carved to order
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings, day or evening and clubhouse events, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Somewhere as small as Rotherwick, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Evenings in Rotherwick stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

FAQs for Rotherwick
Do you come out to small places like Rotherwick?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Rotherwick?
The closest is Hook station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
