How our hog roast hire works in Hedgerley
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. For festive gatherings and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we can cook crackling, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers and more.
Somewhere as small as Hedgerley, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Questions from Hedgerley
What’s the nearest station to Hedgerley?
Gerrards Cross station, about 2.3 miles north-east of the centre.
Could you cook in Bulstrode Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need a big space?
Often, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.

What else we do in Hedgerley
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late September evenings in Hedgerley lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
