About our hog roast hire in Charndon
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Charndon: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include sports clubs and societies and staff days and open days, with coleslaw, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
Somewhere as small as Charndon, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

About 49 miles from central London.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.

We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Charndon until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
