How our hog roast hire works in Speenhamland
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Whether it is christmas fairs and summer garden parties, we can cook halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and salads and more.
A place like Speenhamland often has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can host a hog roast with permission. 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.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
