About our hog roast hire in Worting
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is hog roast hire in Worting. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. We’re often asked to cater birthdays and anniversaries and Fêtes, fairs and shows, serving new potatoes, crackling and hog roast rolls.
There may be a hall or playing field near Worting if the garden is small; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How we price a hog roast
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
