Hog roast hire in Worplesdon
Hog roast hire in Worplesdon, carved to order
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We serve rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads, and typical bookings are for staff days and open days and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
In a hamlet or village like Worplesdon, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Common questions in Worplesdon
How far is Worplesdon from London?
About 27 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Fox Corner Wildlife Area?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.

What else we do in Worplesdon
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Why choose a hog roast in Worplesdon?
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is generally the easier choice. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Worplesdon hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
