How our hog roast hire works in Tile Hurst
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We serve spit-roast lamb, salads and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for birthdays and anniversaries and village fêtes and school fairs.
In a rural place like Tile Hurst, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Late September evenings in Tile Hurst lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
