About our hog roast hire in Fairford Leys
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater garden parties and barbecues and birthdays and anniversaries.
A place like Fairford Leys frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can host a hog roast with permission. 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.

Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.

How we price a hog roast
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late September evenings in Fairford Leys lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Questions from Fairford Leys
How far is Fairford Leys from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
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 will follow the site rules.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Will people get crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps us check.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually 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 confirm what comes with it when you ask.
