Hog roast hire across WD99
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Typical bookings include club events and presentations and garden parties and barbecues, with spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and salads.
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
What it costs in WD99

Near you in Holywell
Bookings here are often close to The Red House, St Oswald's Parish Church and King George V Playing Fields, among other places. You’ll also find Croxley Danes School (0.6 miles north-west), Westfield Academy (within half a mile east) and Ascot Road Community Free School (less than half a mile north). For guests coming by rail, the closest station is Watford High Street station, about 1.4 miles east. A little further out are Hertfordshire Fire Brigade Museum (1.5 miles east) and Watford General Hospital (0.9 miles east). Open spaces near Holywell include Tumbling Bay and Chorleywood Common.
Planning a hog roast in WD99
WD99 covers everything from Holywell to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Holywell: Within reach of Holywell are historic houses such as High Elms Manor (4.1 miles north) and Headstone Manor (4.6 miles south-east). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. If you had King George V Playing Fields in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. Evenings in Holywell stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon.
Questions to ask before you book
- Plates, china and cutlery

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
