What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Isington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- 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.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your guests

About our hog roast hire in Isington
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and staff days and open days.
For a rural spot like Isington, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Common questions in Isington
Is Isington close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Isington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
