Hog roast hire for your event in Padbury
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Padbury, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We are often asked to cater sports clubs and societies and wakes and memorial gatherings, serving spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
In a hamlet or village like Padbury, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Around midsummer it stays light in Padbury until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Padbury questions
How far is Padbury from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Padbury too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
