Hog roast hire in IG8: what to expect

We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We are frequently asked to cater milestone birthdays and parties at home, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.

From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event in IG8.

First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.

What a hog roast costs

Your quote depends on:

How long the roast and service take
Season and day of the week
The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Numbers

Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Details that help

Here’s what we will ask:

Rough numbers
The address or postcode
Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Your menu choices

We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

For event organisers in IG8

If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Before you choose a spot

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:

Access for our equipment, without steps
A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
Vehicle access close to the cooking area

A hog roast compared with other options

Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours.

Questions to ask before booking

The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
