Hog roast hire for Wyke
Hog roast hire in Wyke, carved to order
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. Typical bookings include big birthdays and anniversaries and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and new potatoes.
Somewhere like Wyke, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Evenings in Wyke stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Wyke: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Wyke too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
