How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Around midsummer it stays light in Stonehill Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, 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.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Name a contact for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Hog roast hire in Stonehill Green, carved to order
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Popular choices include salads, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for wakes and memorial gatherings and staff days and open days.
Somewhere as small as Stonehill Green, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

For event organisers in Stonehill Green
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Stonehill Green
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
