Slow-roasted pork in Buckland
How our hog roast hire works in Buckland
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. Typical bookings include birthdays and anniversaries and sports clubs and societies, serving spit-roast lamb, salads and new potatoes.
Somewhere as small as Buckland, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

A hog roast or other catering?
