Hog roast hire for your event in Tangley
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Tangley, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are coleslaw, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater club events and presentations and festive gatherings.
In a rural place like Tangley, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Where the roaster can go in Tangley
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:

FAQs for Tangley
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Thomas of Canterbury: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Tangley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
What affects the price in Tangley
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
When you contact us, please mention:
- Your menu choices
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
