Hog roast hire in Street End, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Street End: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are frequently booked for staff days and open days and gatherings after a funeral.
Somewhere as small as Street End, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Street End, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Name a contact for the day
