Hog roast hire for your event in Wierton
In Wierton, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include club events and presentations and wakes, serving salads, new potatoes and crackling.
Somewhere like Wierton, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evenings in Wierton stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
From the roaster

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
