A hog roast or other catering?
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Stoke
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Stoke?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Sunset in Stoke is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
