How our hog roast hire works in Staplestreet
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater club events and presentations and wakes.
In a hamlet or village like Staplestreet, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Questions from Staplestreet
Is Staplestreet close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Staplestreet?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
