Slow-roasted pork in Pyrton
Hog roast hire in Pyrton, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Pyrton: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include birthdays and anniversaries and corporate events, serving halloumi skewers, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
Somewhere like Pyrton, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Before booking anyone
- Any travel or access charges
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
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:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Light matters for a long roast: around Pyrton, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us a contact number for the day

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.

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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.

Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
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.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
