Hog roast hire in Tudeley Hale, slow-roasted on site
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. For wedding breakfasts and evening food and work summer parties, we can cook halloumi skewers, salads and hog roast rolls and more.
Somewhere as small as Tudeley Hale, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How we price a hog roast

- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Tudeley Hale, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Stuffing and apple sauce

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
