Hog roast hire for Booker
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How our hog roast hire works in Booker
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Typical bookings include sports clubs and societies and christmas parties, serving spit-roast lamb, salads and coleslaw.
In a smaller place like Booker, a hog roast in the garden is often the simplest option: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Let us know how we reach the garden. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Light matters for a long roast: around Booker, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- 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 clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
