Hog roast hire in Stone Corner, slow-roasted on site
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Whether it’s work summer parties and christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of crackling, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Somewhere like Stone Corner, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
