Hog roast hire in Cumnor, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. For garden parties and barbecues and festive gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, crackling and salads for your guests.
Somewhere like Cumnor, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

Cumnor questions
Do you come out to small places like Cumnor?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Cumnor close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How we price a hog roast
The price comes down to:
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
