About our hog roast hire in Longcot
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
In a hamlet or village like Longcot, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Questions from Longcot
Is Longcot too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you cover Longcot?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Longcot and Oxfordshire. Send us the address for a quote.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who does not eat it. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
