Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Harpsden: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Harpsden?
Henley-On-Thames station, about 0.9 miles north of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Mill Meadows?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How does payment work for businesses?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we’ll explain the booking terms.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
