Hog roast hire for Calvert
Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why Calvert hosts choose us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

A hog roast in Calvert: local details
Calvert is about 6 miles south of Buckingham, in Buckinghamshire. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Calvert and the surrounding area.

For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of St Michael, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby.
Wherever your event is in MK18, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Heathers Close, Rustics Close and Sandy Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the roaster to you. Close by, we cover events in Charndon (1 mile west), Twyford (2 miles north-west), Poundon (3 miles west), Marsh Gibbon (3 miles west) and Hillesden (3 miles north).

Calvert: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Calvert?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you travel across Buckinghamshire?
All of Buckinghamshire is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. By late September, sunset in Calvert is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.

Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
