About our hog roast hire in Easton
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. Whether it’s staff days and open days and christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, halloumi skewers and coleslaw for your guests.
In a small place like Easton, 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. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- Time on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, send us:

We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late September evenings in Easton lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Gather dietary requirements early

Common questions in Easton
Is Easton close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Gregory: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
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.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
