How hog roast hire works in HP22

In HP22, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. We serve salads, coleslaw and crackling, and typical bookings are for parties at home and work summer parties.

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day.

  1. You share the when, where and how many.
  2. We look at the cooking area and send a price.
  3. We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
  4. The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
  5. We clear up and go.

Cost

Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

How we price a hog roast

Each price is built from:

  • How easy it is to reach the spot
  • The date and time of year
  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
  • The number of people

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

What to tell us

To get the best quote, tell us:

  • Rough numbers
  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • A picture of the cooking area
  • Where the event is

We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.

Before you choose a spot

The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:

  • A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
  • A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
  • Vehicle access close to the cooking area

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Planning for dietary needs

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:

  • Add a dietary question to your invitations
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
  • Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them

Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.

We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
