Hog roast hire for Hazeley
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Hog roast hire for your event in Hazeley
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for summer garden parties and big birthdays and anniversaries.
In a hamlet or village like Hazeley, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Hazeley questions
How far is Hazeley from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Hazeley too small for a hog roast?
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.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
Where the roaster can go in Hazeley
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Planning for dietary needs
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
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Hazeley, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- 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.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day
