Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
