Hog roast hire for your event in Gerrards Cross
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Gerrards Cross, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Popular choices include salads, hog roast rolls and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
There may be a hall or playing field near Gerrards Cross if the garden is small; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:

Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By late September, sunset in Gerrards Cross is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.

Preparing for the day

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- Whether you want china
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- An estimate of numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which usually keeps the cost down. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
