Hog roast hire in Springvale, slow-roasted on site
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Springvale.

Typical bookings include festive gatherings and big birthdays and anniversaries, serving hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.

Why choose a hog roast in Springvale?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Springvale, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Common questions in Springvale
Is Springvale close to London?
About 59 miles from central London.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church Hall?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
