Before you choose a spot

- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Neighbours warned about the smell
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

About the food

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
DIY or catered? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
