Hog roast hire for Steeple Barton
How our hog roast hire works in Steeple Barton
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Popular choices include coleslaw, salads and spit-roast lamb, and we are frequently booked for community events and wakes.
In a rural place like Steeple Barton, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- 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.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Steeple Barton, it stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
