Hog roast hire for Ningwood
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Parking near the spot
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
For somewhere as remote as Ningwood, early notice helps us plan the trip.

About our hog roast hire in Ningwood
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. For garden parties and barbecues and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we can cook coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb and more.
In a hamlet or village like Ningwood, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Ningwood, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
