Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How our party hog roast works in Martins Heron
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in Martins Heron, then carve at the time you choose, so you can enjoy your own party. Popular choices include jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for christenings and naming days and leaving and retirement do’s.
Around Martins Heron, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of party. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Martins Heron questions
Is Martins Heron close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Why choose a hog roast in Martins Heron?
Compared with takeaway pizzas, the roast is an event in itself. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

What affects the price in Martins Heron
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A picture of the cooking area
Every party is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote: use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
