Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Stone Cross

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Stone Cross from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is mains power needed?

Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
