Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is usually the easier choice. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Longwick hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

About our hog roast hire in Longwick
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Popular choices include coleslaw, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for wakes and memorial gatherings and christmas fairs.
Around Longwick, bookings are often at homes, village halls and playing fields. If access is tight, we will plan around it. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Evenings in Longwick stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.

Planning help
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Questions from Longwick
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at Owlswick Chapel: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you travel across Buckinghamshire?
We cover Buckinghamshire and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- 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.
