Hog roast hire for your event in Standlake
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, salads and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for weddings, day or evening and birthdays and anniversaries.
Somewhere like Standlake, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late September evenings in Standlake lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your guests

Common questions in Standlake
How far is Standlake from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at St Giles' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Is crackling included?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
