About our hog roast hire in Northend
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We serve crackling, salads and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and club events and presentations.
In a rural place like Northend, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Timed around your day
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Northend questions
Is Northend too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Northend from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
We cover Oxfordshire and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue for a quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

How we price a hog roast
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
