A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal

Hog roast hire for your event in Tattenhoe
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for wedding breakfasts and evening food and festive gatherings.
For a place the size of Tattenhoe, your own garden is often the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Let us know how we reach the garden. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Tattenhoe, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
