A hog roast near Seaton
Hog roast hire for your event in Seaton
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. For christmas parties and staff days and open days, we can cook coleslaw, hog roast rolls and crackling for your guests.
Somewhere like Seaton, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Light matters for a long roast: around Seaton, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm.

- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
