Hog roast hire in Woodside
Hog roast hire in Woodside, slow-roasted on site
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We serve salads, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater parties at home and village fêtes and school fairs.
For a rural spot like Woodside, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Woodside, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
