About our hog roast hire in Ford
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for parties at home and community events.
Somewhere like Ford, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In Ford, 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’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Our staff serve and clear
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Sides to make it a full meal

About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, send us:
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or HP17 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Your questions about a hog roast in Ford
What’s the nearest station to Ford?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Ford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What is hog roast hire?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you come to Ford?
Yes, Ford is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
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 you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
