Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Hog roast hire in Singleton, slow-roasted on site
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving crackling, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
In a hamlet or village like Singleton, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Common questions in Singleton
Do you come out to small places like Singleton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What is hog roast hire?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Parking near the spot
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat

Before we arrive

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Planners, venues and businesses
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 will keep you both updated.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
