Hog roast hire for your event in Drayton Beauchamp
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Whether it is sports clubs and societies and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Drayton Beauchamp, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How we price a hog roast

Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Around midsummer it stays light in Drayton Beauchamp until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, 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.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send 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.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about shelter for your guests

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Drayton Beauchamp: your questions answered
Is Drayton Beauchamp too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you cover the whole of Buckinghamshire?
We cover Buckinghamshire and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
