Book a hog roast in Oakley
Hog roast hire in Oakley, carved to order
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include village fêtes and school fairs and weddings and receptions, serving new potatoes, salads and spit-roast lamb.
There may be a hall or playing field near Oakley if the garden is small; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.

About 38 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Late September evenings in Oakley lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
