Hog roast hire in Winnall, carved to order
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Winnall, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. For staff days and open days and parties at home, we can cook coleslaw, halloumi skewers and salads for your guests.
A place like Winnall frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can host a hog roast with permission. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Site access
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Light matters for a long roast: around Winnall, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.

How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
