Hog King
Hog King HM001 Propane Gas Hog Roast Machine
£3,481.00(£4,177.20 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Hog King HM001 is a large-format propane gas hog roast machine designed for outdoor and event catering where mains services are unavailable or impractical. Built from stainless steel throughout, it runs entirely on bottled propane, making it genuinely self-contained and suitable for use in fields, marquees, car parks, and similar settings without the need for electrical connection.
In practical use, the machine is capable of accommodating a whole pig alongside additional boned and rolled joints in the same cooking session, making it well suited to larger events where throughput and presentation matter. The adjustable tray height via bracket positions is a useful operational detail — it allows the operator to carve and serve directly from the machine at a comfortable working height, which speeds up service and reduces the need for additional serving equipment on site.
Key operational points worth noting:
- Propane-powered — no mains electricity or gas supply required on site
- Four castors fitted, with two lockable, for stable positioning on uneven ground
- Adjustable tray height supports carving and service directly from the machine
- Temperature control allows the operator to manage cooking pace through a session
- Stainless steel construction supports hygiene and withstands repeated outdoor use
At 100kg the machine is substantial, and moving it between events will require a suitable vehicle and at least two people for loading and unloading. The castors are practical once the unit is on flat ground, but the overall footprint is generous, so storage space between events is worth considering before purchase. A separate spit roast kit is not included and would need to be sourced additionally if required.
This machine is primarily suited to event caterers, hog roast specialists, and hospitality operators who regularly cook for large outdoor gatherings. For operators running smaller events or requiring a more compact unit, lower-capacity alternatives are available. Equally, very high-volume commercial operators running multiple events simultaneously may benefit from reviewing heavier-duty options.
If you're unsure whether this machine suits your typical event size or want to talk through how it would work in your operation, we're happy to have that conversation before you commit to a purchase.
Frequently asked questions
How many guests can this machine realistically cater for in a single session?
The machine can hold a whole pig alongside additional boned and rolled joints, so a well-managed session can produce enough meat for a substantial gathering — typically upwards of 100 to 150 covers depending on portion size and accompaniments. Cooking time will vary based on joint weight and ambient temperature, so building contingency into your event schedule is advisable.
What gas supply does the HM001 require, and how much will I use per session?
The machine runs on standard bottled propane, which is widely available from commercial gas suppliers and many hardware merchants. Consumption will depend on cooking duration, ambient conditions, and the load being cooked — most operators running a full session carry at least one spare cylinder as standard practice. The machine does not require any electrical connection.
Is this machine suitable for regular commercial use, or is it better for occasional events?
The HM001 is built for repeated commercial use and the stainless steel construction holds up well to regular outdoor deployment. It is most commonly used by dedicated hog roast caterers and hospitality operators running events throughout the season rather than as an occasional piece of kit. That said, the 100kg machine weight means a practical approach to transport and storage is needed if it is being moved frequently between sites.
