A hog roast near Alscot
Hog roast hire in Alscot, slow-roasted on site
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, salads and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater birthdays and anniversaries and weddings and receptions.
For a rural spot like Alscot, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evenings in Alscot stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- 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.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Questions from Alscot
Can you cater after a service at St Teresa's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which generally keeps the cost down. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Sides to make it a full meal
