Hog roast hire in Yapton, carved to order
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s hog roast hire in Yapton. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. On the menu are new potatoes, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for wakes and staff days and open days.
In a smaller place like Yapton, a hog roast in the garden is frequently the simplest option: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know how we reach the garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

A hog roast or other catering?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Yapton hosts choose us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
How the day works
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. Late September evenings in Yapton lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
