Hog roast hire in Hoe
For event organisers in Hoe
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Hog roast hire in Hoe, carved to order
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. For wedding breakfasts and evening food and sports clubs and societies, we can cook hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes for your guests.
In a small place like Hoe, 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 is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Around midsummer it stays light in Hoe until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
