About hog roast hire in KT9
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for wakes and sports clubs and societies.
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
