How our hog roast hire works in Stonor
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include crackling, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater wakes and garden parties and barbecues.
In a rural place like Stonor, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Stonor: your questions answered
Is Stonor close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Will people get crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What is hog roast hire?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.

Why choose a hog roast in Stonor?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book our hog roast in Stonor
- Served at the time you choose
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal
- All the equipment comes with us

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
