How our hog roast hire works in Bucks Green
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving new potatoes, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
In a hamlet or village like Bucks Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Take a look at our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Around midsummer it stays light in Bucks Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- 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 arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
