Hog roast hire in Stoke Row, slow-roasted on site
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Stoke Row, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Whether it’s christmas parties and big birthdays and anniversaries, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and coleslaw for your guests.
In a small place like Stoke Row, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. In Stoke Row, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Why choose a hog roast in Stoke Row?
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. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Stoke Row hosts choose us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Planned to your running order
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Questions from Stoke Row
Is Stoke Row too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you cover Stoke Row?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
