Hog roast hire for your event in North Crawley
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. For Fêtes, fairs and shows and corporate events, we can cook new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers.
In a hamlet or village like North Crawley, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.

Questions from North Crawley
Is North Crawley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Firmin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Do you come to North Crawley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, North Crawley and the rest of Milton Keynes included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Is crackling included?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Around midsummer it stays light in North Crawley until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
How to get a price
