Slow-roasted pork in West Hanney
Hog roast hire for your event in West Hanney
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in West Hanney, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are coleslaw, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for club events and presentations and milestone birthdays.
Somewhere as small as West Hanney, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Planning an evening hog roast in West Hanney? Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- 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.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

West Hanney: your questions answered
How far is West Hanney from London?
About 57 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like West Hanney?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

How we price a hog roast
Your quote depends on:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
Send us the date, the address or OX12 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we’re there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
Why choose hog roast hire in West Hanney?

Our roaster has been booked for all sorts of events around West Hanney, such as:
- Christmas parties
- Wakes
- Work summer parties
- Weddings, day or evening
School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as St James Church of England Primary School, can book a hog roast stall.
Before booking anyone
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- VAT, if it applies
- Whether travel is included
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
