Hog roast hire for Charcott
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event in Charcott. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Charcott, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

About our hog roast hire in Charcott
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Charcott, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it is summer garden parties and weddings and receptions, we can cook rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and crackling and more.
In a small place like Charcott, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
For event organisers in Charcott
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, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What affects the price in Charcott
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Charcott questions
How far is Charcott from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London.
Is Charcott too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is crackling included?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
Can you cater in Charcott?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
