How our hog roast hire works in Goose Hill
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. Typical bookings include parties at home and Fêtes, fairs and shows, serving halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Somewhere as small as Goose Hill, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. 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.

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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

What else we do in Goose Hill
Goose Hill: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Goose Hill from London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.

Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. By late September, sunset in Goose Hill is around 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
