How our hog roast hire works in Easton
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. We are often asked to cater club events and presentations and weddings, day or evening, serving spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Somewhere as small as Easton, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Evenings in Easton stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Your questions about a hog roast in Easton
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Easton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
