About our hog roast hire in Blackmoor
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Typical bookings include sports clubs and societies and wakes and memorial gatherings, with new potatoes, salads and spit-roast lamb.
In a rural place like Blackmoor, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Blackmoor, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive

Blackmoor questions
Is Blackmoor too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Blackmoor?
Liss station, about 3.5 miles south of the centre.
Can you cater in Blackmoor?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Blackmoor and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Sides to make it a full meal
