About our hog roast hire in Stoke Charity
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Stoke Charity: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. For Fêtes, fairs and shows and summer garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of salads, rotisserie chicken and crackling and more.
In a rural place like Stoke Charity, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Our staff serve and clear
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
