Hog roast catering across HP17

Hog roast hire across HP17

A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in HP17: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. On the menu are salads, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and typical bookings are for community events and festive gatherings.

We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.

  1. First, tell us about your event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
  4. We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
  5. Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Hog roast catering in HP17: local guide

HP17 covers everything from Haddenham, Queens Park and Stone to 18 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. Parts of HP17 are within a few miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.

Haddenham: Churches such as Parish Church of St Mary rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. Within reach of Haddenham are historic houses such as Waddesdon Manor (4.9 miles north). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. By late September, sunset in Haddenham is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

A hog roast or other catering?

A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it.

Comparing caterers

  • When payments are due and what happens if plans change
  • The menu, including sides and any extras
  • The space, cover and access they need
  • How many staff will carve and serve

Organising for someone else?

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

How we price a hog roast

Each price is built from:

  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
  • Distance from us
  • Plates or china
  • How easy it is to reach the spot

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

What we need to know

To get the best quote, tell us:

  • The address or postcode
  • The date and time of the event
  • Rough numbers
  • 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. Use our quote form.

What comes off the roaster

Rotisserie chicken

Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.

Spit-roast lamb

Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.

Should I cook it myself?

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.

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
