About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
How our hog roast hire works in Sevington
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Sevington, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Typical bookings include christmas fairs and parties at home, serving hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.
Somewhere as small as Sevington, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In Sevington, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
See how we price or the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Catered or do it yourself?
