How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Light matters for a long roast: in Postcombe, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.

Hog roast hire for your event in Postcombe
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Popular choices include salads, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings and receptions and christmas parties.
Somewhere as small as Postcombe, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What comes off the roaster

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

For event organisers in Postcombe
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why Postcombe hosts choose us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Serving and clearing done for you
See our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Common questions in Postcombe
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
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’ll advise.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
