Hog roast hire in Upper Green, carved to order
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include weddings, day or evening and wakes, serving salads, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
In a small place like Upper Green, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.

What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
