About our hog roast hire in Tutt Hill
In Tutt Hill, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. We’re often asked to cater christmas fairs and weddings and receptions, with halloumi skewers, crackling and salads.
In a small place like Tutt Hill, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
How we price a hog roast
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
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.

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like

What else we do in Tutt Hill
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. 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. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Parking near the spot
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Stuffing
- Salads
- New potatoes
- Apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Spit-roast lamb
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Coleslaw
- Crackling
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
