Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own.

For a rural spot like Henley Street, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. Light matters for a long roast: in Henley Street, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
