Hog roast hire for Priestwood Green
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- Travel to Priestwood Green
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Hog roast hire in Priestwood Green, slow-roasted on site
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. We are frequently asked to cater work summer parties and Fêtes, fairs and shows, with spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Somewhere as small as Priestwood Green, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- An itemised quote
- Serving and clearing done for you

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evenings in Priestwood Green stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
