Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Hamsey Green questions
Is Hamsey Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Hamsey Green from London?
About 13 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Both models are possible. We’ll agree what suits yours.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is electricity needed?
Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
