Hog roast hire in Finmere, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Finmere: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. We’re often asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and festive gatherings, serving new potatoes, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Somewhere as small as Finmere, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

Finmere: your questions answered
How far is Finmere from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do you cover the whole of Buckinghamshire?
We cater across Buckinghamshire. Contact us for a price.
What if things run late?
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.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
A hog roast in Finmere: local details
Finmere is about 4 miles west of Buckingham, in Buckinghamshire. Finmere is well within our area for events and the places nearby. Finmere is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Finmere to Milton Keynes (about 13 miles away).
Churches such as Church of St Michael rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Finmere Church of England Primary School, can book a hog roast stall.
For events in MK18, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Chinalls Close, Stable Close and Fulwell Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Other places close to Finmere we cover include Tingewick (1 mile east), Preston Bissett (2 miles south-east), Gawcott (3 miles east), Hillesden (4 miles south-east) and Twyford (4 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Buckingham (4 miles east), Haydon Hill (15 miles south-east), Winslow (9 miles east), Steeple Claydon (5 miles south-east), Long Crendon (15 miles south) and Whitchurch (13 miles south-east).
A little further out are The Menagerie (3.6 miles north-east) and Buckingham Community Hospital (3.9 miles east). Open spaces near Finmere include Buckingham Sand Pit.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Finmere until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, 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.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
