About our hog roast hire in Wilsley Green
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. For club events and presentations and festive gatherings, we can cook spit-roast lamb, crackling and hog roast rolls.
Somewhere as small as Wilsley Green, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How we price a hog roast
Here’s what affects the price:
- Travel to Wilsley Green
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Wilsley Green hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Timed around your day
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
