Hog roast hire for St Mary Hoo
About our hog roast hire in St Mary Hoo
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Whether it is club events and presentations and christmas fairs, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and crackling for your guests.
In a small place like St Mary Hoo, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Put the menu on the invitation
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Why choose a hog roast in St Mary Hoo?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Travel to St Mary Hoo
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evenings in St Mary Hoo stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
