How our hog roast hire works in Long Hanborough
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. For community events and sports clubs and societies, we can cook crackling, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
There may be a hall or playing field near Long Hanborough if the garden is small; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Long Hanborough, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send 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 clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Your date and serving time

The menu, dish by dish

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
