How hog roast hire works in SM5
In SM5, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, salads and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for sports clubs and societies and gatherings after a funeral.
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we are on site
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
