Hog roast hire in Amersham, carved to order
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Amersham, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Popular choices include coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings and receptions and parties at home.
In Amersham, the roaster generally goes in a back garden, a club or hall car park, or the grounds of a hired venue. Each works well, as long as there’s a level spot clear of buildings and trees. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

For planners, venues and organisers

Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

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.
FAQs for Amersham
We’re gathering after a service at St. Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Amersham?
Amersham station, in Amersham itself.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you come to Amersham?
Yes, Amersham is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Amersham, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
