Slow-roasted pork in Stonebridge Green
Hog roast hire in Stonebridge Green, carved to order
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s hog roast hire in Stonebridge Green. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. For festive gatherings and village fêtes and school fairs, we will put together a menu of crackling, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Stonebridge Green, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
What affects the price in Stonebridge Green
We work out each quote from:
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
