Hog roast hire for your event in Skittle Green
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Skittle Green: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. We serve coleslaw, new potatoes and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and summer garden parties.
Somewhere as small as Skittle Green, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How we price a hog roast

Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Why choose a hog roast in Skittle Green?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Serving and clearing done for you
- An itemised quote

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Skittle Green, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
