Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Sandhurst questions

Which station is closest to Sandhurst?

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Do we need a big space?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
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.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why Sandhurst hosts choose us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved to order by a chef
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.

- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
