Slow-roasted pork in Hartwell
How our hog roast hire works in Hartwell
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. We serve rotisserie chicken, salads and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and christmas fairs.
In a hamlet or village like Hartwell, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Hartwell questions
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.
Is Hartwell too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Do you cover the whole of Buckinghamshire?
Buckinghamshire is part of our area. Get in touch for a price.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Planning an evening hog roast in Hartwell? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a 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.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is typically the easier choice. 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.
Why Hartwell hosts choose us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
