About our hog roast hire in Vigo Village
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Vigo Village: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include christmas parties and staff days and open days, serving salads, crackling and new potatoes.
Somewhere as small as Vigo Village, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Light matters for a long roast: around Vigo Village, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
