Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Boughton Lees and Kent. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
