Hog roast hire in Send, carved to order
People book a hog roast in Send for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Typical bookings include club events and presentations and village fêtes and school fairs, with spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
There may be a hall or playing field near Send if the garden is small; any can host a hog roast with permission. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Parking near the spot
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Access for our equipment, without steps

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
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.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Around midsummer it stays light in Send until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
