Hog roast hire in BN52: what to expect
In BN52, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for village fêtes and school fairs and wakes and memorial gatherings.
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

- Timed around your day
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Organising for someone else?

If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Common questions in BN52
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Is crackling included?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
