How hog roast hire works in PO40
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Typical bookings include christmas fairs and Fêtes, fairs and shows, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and salads.
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. 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 availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.

A hog roast across PO40: what to know
Across PO40, we cover 3 towns and 5 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Freshwater, Totland and Easton or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. Around 7 places in PO40 are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Freshwater: PTAs at schools such as All Saints Church of England Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Nearby historic houses include Mottistone Manor (4.6 miles south-east). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. Light matters for a long roast: in Freshwater, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:05pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast.

What affects the price in PO40
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
