About our hog roast hire in Watermead
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. For garden parties and barbecues and village fêtes and school fairs, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
In a smaller place like Watermead, a hog roast in the garden is frequently the simplest option: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Around midsummer it stays light in Watermead until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The number of people
- Plates or china

Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

These are the details we need:
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about

- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
