Hog roast hire for Temple Valley
How our hog roast hire works in Temple Valley
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Temple Valley, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it’s christmas fairs and garden parties and barbecues, we can cook halloumi skewers, crackling and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Temple Valley, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. 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.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
