What we need to know

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies

The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
How our hog roast hire works in Troy Town
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include parties at home and weddings and receptions, with hog roast rolls, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
Somewhere like Troy Town, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Served at the time you choose

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.

FAQs for Troy Town

Is Troy Town close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Will people get crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Before you choose a spot

- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
