Slow-roasted pork in Shover's Green
Hog roast hire for your event in Shover's Green
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We serve crackling, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater festive gatherings and garden parties and barbecues.
In a small place like Shover's Green, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Travel to Shover's Green
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
