Hog roast hire in ME3: what to expect

We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We’re often asked to cater birthdays and anniversaries and parties at home, with crackling, salads and hog roast rolls.

Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn.

First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Hoo St Werburgh Primary School and Marlborough Centre, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. By late September, sunset in Hoo St Werburgh is around 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Why a hog roast works

A roll needs no knife and fork, so it suits informal events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.

We are booked for all kinds of occasions in ME3 and nearby. Some of the most common are:

Corporate events
Christmas fairs
Big birthdays and anniversaries
Garden parties and barbecues

For planners, venues and organisers

For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

A hog roast compared with other options

Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.
