About our hog roast hire in Sutton
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Whether it’s wedding breakfasts and evening food and staff days and open days, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and new potatoes for your guests.
In a small place like Sutton, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Planned to your running order
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Sutton, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do we need a big space?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
