How our hog roast hire works in Waterbeach
In Waterbeach, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. For staff days and open days and weddings, day or evening, we can cook crackling, salads and hog roast rolls.
Somewhere as small as Waterbeach, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Waterbeach, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
