About our hog roast hire in Weston Green
People book a hog roast in Weston Green for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. For village fêtes and school fairs and summer garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
In a small place like Weston Green, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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 DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Weston Green, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
