Hog roast hire for your event in Wallcrouch
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We serve halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and salads, and we are frequently booked for club events and presentations and weddings, day or evening.
In a rural place like Wallcrouch, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Light matters for a long roast: around Wallcrouch, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
