About our hog roast hire in Denvilles
In Denvilles, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Whether it’s community events and weddings and receptions, we can cook crackling, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw.
A place like Denvilles frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What affects the price in Denvilles
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Our staff serve and clear

Questions from Denvilles
Is Denvilles close to London?
About 58 miles from central London.
Can you cater after a service at St Thomas à Becket Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
Do you cover Denvilles?
Yes, Denvilles is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.

Before you book anyone
- A clear list of what’s included
- How dietary needs are handled
- Plates, china and cutlery
- The space, cover and access they need
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late September evenings in Denvilles lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
