About our hog roast hire in Speen

Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We are often asked to cater summer garden parties and gatherings after a funeral, serving halloumi skewers, salads and crackling.

In a hamlet or village like Speen, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to:

  • Which meats and sides you choose
  • Site access
  • The journey to the venue
  • Whether you want china

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • Which meats and sides you’d like
  • Dietary requirements
  • What the outdoor space is like
  • Rough numbers

A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:

  • Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
  • Put the menu on the invitation
  • We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
  • Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests

You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.

Is a hog roast right for your event?

Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

Why Speen hosts choose us

  • Served at the time you choose
  • Carved by our chef in front of your guests
  • Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
  • The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Your questions about a hog roast in Speen

Is Speen close to London?

About 32 miles from central London.

Can you cater after a service at Speen Church (Baptist)?

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. Send us the address.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Do you clear up?

Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

What about guests who do not eat pork?

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.

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.

Who serves?

We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

Is it just pork?

Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.

Step by step

The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Speen, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Before we arrive
