Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Hog roast hire in Rushmoor, slow-roasted on site
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. Typical bookings include weddings and receptions and gatherings after a funeral, serving coleslaw, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Rushmoor, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Fresh carving at the serving station

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Your questions about a hog roast in Rushmoor
Is Rushmoor too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
What happens on the day
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event in Rushmoor.

In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
