About hog roast hire in HP6
In HP6, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include wakes and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.

- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Put the menu on the invitation

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we’re there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
