Hog roast hire in Marcham, carved to order
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We are often asked to cater weddings, day or evening and wakes, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
There may be a hall or playing field near Marcham if the garden is small; any can host a hog roast with permission. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Around midsummer it stays light in Marcham until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
