Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

About our hog roast hire in Lower Eashing
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. We are often asked to cater parties at home and Fêtes, fairs and shows, with new potatoes, hog roast rolls and salads.
Somewhere like Lower Eashing, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Lower Eashing questions
Is Lower Eashing too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Middlebriars Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
