Your questions about a hog roast in Great Horwood
How far is Great Horwood from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Great Horwood?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
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.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Hog roast hire for your event in Great Horwood

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In Great Horwood, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

- Whether plates or china are included
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
