How our hog roast hire works in Speen
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Speen. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. Whether it is sports clubs and societies and garden parties and barbecues, we can cook hog roast rolls, coleslaw and new potatoes.
In a rural place like Speen, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

How we price a hog roast
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
