Piggybank Farm
We specialise in hog roast catering and barbeques and are available throughout the year for Weddings, Anniversaries, Fetes and special events.
This year, why not consider roasting a pig or lamb as the finishing touch to that special event!
Whether you’re planning to host a special event for a large group of people such as a wedding reception, or perhaps a gathering of friends or business colleagues, then you should consider featuring a pig roast.
Allow the image of a slow roasted pig cooked to perfection over 15
hours, to be seasoned by the fact that the pigs selected for our hog
roasts are sourced locally, and in our opinion, produce outstanding pork or bacon
Then allow this picture to simmer gently for some time, confident in the
knowledge that we take every care to ensure that we will handle your hog
roast with professionalism and dedication...
And finally you have all the ingredients together for a mouth-watering
event !

To ensure that your meat is cooked in complete safety, our hog roasters are powered by a large gas burner which provides a
safe, consistent temperature throughout the cooking period. We test the meat with a digital
thermometer on a regular basis to ensure that the pig is thoroughly cooked before carving . From start to finish, we are committed to providing excellent service and quality.
The mobile roasting oven is trailer mounted which makes it practical and easy to use. Having gas powered machines and the use of a small generator allows us to be highly portable when required. This is ideal if you are considering hosting your hogroast in a field or remote venue that is not close to an electrical supply.
Our Equipment
Hosting a Hog Roast
In addition to the hog roasting and gas powered barbeque machines, we can also offer a range of alternative catering options.
Our portable smoking unit is ideal for fish and
vegetarian menus. The smoker can cook up to
20 fresh trout at once. The machine smokes
the fish using specially prepared wood briquettes
so that the resulting flavour is absolutely delicious.
Living close to a fresh water trout farm, means that we are providing freshly caught fish which literally melt in the mouth!
If you would prefer us to carve you pig or lamb indoors, in front of your guests we can now provide a medieval wrought iron stand. The pig is cooked in the mobile oven and then transferred onto the stand. A real flame - gas powered fire basket keeps the meat piping hot and allows us to carve and serve the meat in front of you.
For themed events such as fetes, Victorian evenings Murder Mystery Nights, late night shopping or promotional events our mobile oven is ideal! Complete with a water boiler for hot drinks and cooking capacity for 150 jacket
potato's this wonderfully themed Victorian oven is the perfect centre piece and can cook a wide range of food items.
We even dress in Victorian costume if requested!

Our spit roasting and trailer roasting machines are both 44 inches wide and cannot be lifted up steps ( this is an important health and safety consideration)
The smoker/roaster has an internal tray which is 24inches wide and would allow us to bring the cooked pig into your venue to carve on the wrought iron stand, if access for the trailer is a problem.
Before making a booking, please check that your access is sufficiently wide to allow us to get the machine into position
