Sunset in Steephill is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
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.

Who books party hog roast in Steephill?
Most children happily eat pork in a roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussier eaters.
Whatever the occasion in Steephill, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. Bookings often include:
- Reunions
- Retirement parties
- Christenings
- 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays
Nearby historic houses include Rylstone Manor (3.2 miles north-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
What your quote should include
- Allergen information for every dish
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- VAT, if it applies
- How many staff will carve and serve
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Common questions in Steephill
Is Steephill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St. Alban-the-martyr: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a barbecue, you’re not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Planned to your running order
