Hog roast hire in Rogate, slow-roasted on site
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Rogate, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it’s village fêtes and school fairs and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers and more.
In a hamlet or village like Rogate, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Perfect for your event in Rogate
You don’t need much on your side: just an outdoor spot for the roaster. Everything else comes with us.

Common questions in Rogate
What’s the nearest station to Rogate?
The closest is Liss station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Rogate?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
How we price a hog roast
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
