Hog roast hire in Lane End, slow-roasted on site
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Lane End, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. On the menu are hog roast rolls, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and wakes and memorial gatherings.
There may be a hall or playing field near Lane End if the garden is small; any can host a hog roast with permission. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours.

- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

Lane End: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Lane End?
High Wycombe station, about 3.8 miles east of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How we price a hog roast

- The serving time and how long we are on site
