About our hog roast hire in Binley
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Popular choices include new potatoes, hog roast rolls and salads, and we are often booked for wakes and corporate events.
In a small place like Binley, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
For event organisers in Binley
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Serving and clearing done for you
- All the equipment comes with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Put the menu on the invitation
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.

Questions from Binley
Is Binley close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Binley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do we need a big space?
Often, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
