Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages

We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
How our hog roast hire works in Monks Risborough
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s hog roast hire in Monks Risborough. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. For wakes and memorial gatherings and christmas parties, we can cook crackling, hog roast rolls and salads.
Somewhere as small as Monks Risborough, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

To get the best quote, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Monks Risborough, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Planned to your running order
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- An itemised quote

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
