Hog roast hire for Upper Hartfield
Hog roast hire in Upper Hartfield, carved to order
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Upper Hartfield. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. We’re often asked to cater milestone birthdays and sports clubs and societies, serving crackling, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
In a hamlet or village like Upper Hartfield, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. In Upper Hartfield, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
