About our hog roast hire in Hartfordbridge
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Typical bookings include staff days and open days and weddings and receptions, serving halloumi skewers, coleslaw and crackling.
For a rural spot like Hartfordbridge, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Hartfordbridge, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
