Hog roast hire in TN19: what to expect

A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is hog roast hire in TN19. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. Typical bookings include weddings, day or evening and village fêtes and school fairs, serving hog roast rolls, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.

The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.

Getting an accurate quote

  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Roughly how many people
  • Any venue rules
  • A picture of the cooking area

When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, fill in our quote form.

Planning the cooking spot

The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:

  • Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
  • A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
  • Permission from the venue or landowner

Is a hog roast right for you?

A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who does not eat it.

Questions to ask before you book

  • When they arrive and when the food will be ready
  • Whether travel is included
  • If the price includes VAT
  • How many staff will carve and serve

Planners, venues and businesses

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Questions from TN19

Is crackling included?

It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.

Is mains power needed?

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

What is hog roast hire?

We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.

Is there a non-pork option?

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.

Do you leave the area tidy?

Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.

  • Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
  • Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
  • Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
