Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose

FAQs for Battramsley
Is Battramsley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.
How early should we book for Christmas?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
