Hog roast hire in Hook Green
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot

Hog roast hire for your event in Hook Green
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We are often asked to cater staff days and open days and summer garden parties, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Somewhere as small as Hook Green, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Hook Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Hook Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Hook Green close to London?
About 19 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How does hog roast hire work?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
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.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.

- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- 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.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Hook Green, 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.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
