Hog roast hire in St Margarets
Hog roast hire for your event in St Margarets
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in St Margarets, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We are frequently asked to cater weddings, day or evening and gatherings after a funeral, serving halloumi skewers, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Gardens in St Margarets tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In St Margarets, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is usually the easier choice. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why St Margarets hosts choose us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- A choice of salads and potatoes
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
