Slow-roasted pork in Tetsworth
How our hog roast hire works in Tetsworth
In Tetsworth, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. On the menu are hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater staff days and open days and gatherings after a funeral.
Somewhere as small as Tetsworth, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

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, and the quote reflects that.

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. In Tetsworth, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Send final numbers in good time
