How our hog roast hire works in Stonehills
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Stonehills, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. For wakes and memorial gatherings and weddings and receptions, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, salads and coleslaw.
Somewhere like Stonehills, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Parking near the spot
- Access for our equipment, without steps
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Stonehills, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
