Hog roast hire for Sutton Green
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Hog roast hire in Sutton Green, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, coleslaw and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for clubhouse events and birthdays and anniversaries.
In a rural place like Sutton Green, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
How we price a hog roast
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your menu choices
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
FAQs for Sutton Green
We’re gathering after a service at All Souls' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Mayford Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is crackling included?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do we need a big space?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Sutton Green, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day

- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
