Hog roast hire in Roxbourne, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. We are often asked to cater community events and sports clubs and societies, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.
Gardens in Roxbourne tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Roxbourne, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, 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.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Where the roaster can go in Roxbourne
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
As a London location, Roxbourne is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Roxbourne
Can you cater after a service at St. Andrew’s Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Roxbourne?
The closest is South Ruislip station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Our staff serve and clear

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
What affects the price in Roxbourne
The biggest factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
