Hog roast hire in WD19: what to expect
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in WD19. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. We are often asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and gatherings after a funeral, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and new potatoes.
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, timed so it is ready when you want to eat.
- It starts with your date, venue, 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.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.
Questions to ask before booking
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- Any travel or access charges
- How dietary needs are handled
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
