How our hog roast hire works in Cuddesdon
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is hog roast hire in Cuddesdon. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. For weddings, day or evening and corporate events, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, new potatoes and crackling.
In a hamlet or village like Cuddesdon, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. By late September, sunset in Cuddesdon is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Cuddesdon questions
How far is Cuddesdon from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

A hog roast or other catering?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is usually the easier choice. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
