Hog roast hire for your event in Stanmore
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Stanmore, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it is garden parties and barbecues and big birthdays and anniversaries, we can cook crackling, salads and new potatoes for your guests.
In a rural place like Stanmore, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
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.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Common questions in Stanmore
Is Stanmore close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you cover Stanmore?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is our garden big enough?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in

How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Around midsummer it stays light in Stanmore until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
Getting a price
