Hog roast hire in Shripney, slow-roasted on site
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Typical bookings include christmas fairs and community events, serving hog roast rolls, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
Somewhere as small as Shripney, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.

How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Evenings in Shripney stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Your questions about a hog roast in Shripney
Is Shripney close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Shripney too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will people get crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Why choose a hog roast in Shripney?
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Serving and clearing done for you

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
