Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Lighting for evening service
- A way in for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the roaster
- Crackling
- New potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Spit-roast lamb
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Salads
- Hog roast rolls
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give final numbers in good time
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Golden-hour photos in East Garston at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
