Hog roast hire in Chackmore, carved to order
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and parties at home.
In a rural place like Chackmore, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- 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.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How we price a hog roast
We work out each quote from:
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

FAQs for Chackmore
Can you do a hog roast in Stowe Park and Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Chackmore close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
