What happens on the day
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. In Emmington, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Hog roast hire in Emmington, carved to order
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Emmington. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. Popular choices include new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater big birthdays and anniversaries and festive gatherings.
Somewhere as small as Emmington, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which often makes it better value. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Common questions in Emmington
What’s the nearest station to Emmington?
The closest is Princes Risborough station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
Is Emmington too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
