Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Hog roast hire in Water Stratford, carved to order
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Water Stratford, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings.

In a rural place like Water Stratford, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Water Stratford
- Plates or china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Around midsummer it stays light in Water Stratford until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is generally 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.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
