Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
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 photo if you are unsure.

The process

- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
