Hog roast hire in Burcott
How our hog roast hire works in Burcott
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Whether it’s community events and weddings and receptions, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, salads and hog roast rolls.
Somewhere as small as Burcott, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
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.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning a hog roast in Burcott
Burcott is about 2 miles north-east of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Wherever your event is in Burcott, we can bring the roaster, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook. We cover 263 places across Buckinghamshire. You can also see our page for Milton Keynes, about 14 miles away.
Churches such as Church of St James rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Bierton Church of England Combined School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Burcott, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access.
Events anywhere in HP22 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Burcott Lane and Marshalls Lea; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.

What else we do in Burcott
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Burcott, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
