How our hog roast hire works in Totland
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Whether it is wakes and christmas parties, we can cook spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads.

Common questions in Totland
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you cater?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
Totland is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What happens on the day

- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Site access
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- A picture of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Why Totland hosts choose us
- Our staff serve and clear
- All the equipment comes with us
- Planned to your running order
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Read how we price and the cost guide.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
