Hog roast hire in Snargate, carved to order
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, salads and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for birthdays and anniversaries and christmas parties.
Somewhere like Snargate, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Parking near the spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
