Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How our hog roast hire works in Rushlake Green
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. We’re often asked to cater christmas fairs and weddings and receptions, serving spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
Somewhere as small as Rushlake Green, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
A hog roast compared with other options

Questions from Rushlake Green
How far is Rushlake Green from London?
About 42 miles from central London.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
