Hog roast hire for your event in Danaway
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Danaway, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we are frequently booked for clubhouse events and big birthdays and anniversaries.
In a small place like Danaway, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
See our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
What a hog roast costs

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Danaway from London?
About 35 miles from central London.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can we choose catered or DIY?

Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
