Hog roast hire in Aston
Hog roast hire in Aston, carved to order
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We serve spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for weddings, day or evening and christmas parties.
In a small place like Aston, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

For event organisers in Aston
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Parking near the spot

Aston questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Aston from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you cover Aston?
Yes, Aston is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps us check.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.

How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event in Aston. Around midsummer it stays light in Aston until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
