Hog roast for events for Washington
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Travel to Washington
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A firm way on and off the field
- Space for people to queue
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

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 normally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Washington questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Washington from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will work it out together.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
