Hog roast hire across HP20
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in HP20, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, salads and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for weddings, day or evening and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.

Hog roast catering in HP20: local guide
From Aylesbury, Elmhurst and Southcourt to 3 villages and hamlets, bookings across HP20 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Elmhurst: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Elmhurst School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. For anyone arriving by rail, the nearest station is Aylesbury station, about 0.9 miles south. In Elmhurst, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Permission from the venue or landowner
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Events we cater in HP20
There is very little for you to organise: just an outdoor spot for the roaster. Everything else comes with us.
Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Here are some of the most popular:
- Garden parties and barbecues
- Wakes
- Weddings and receptions
- Staff days and open days
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Your questions about a hog roast in HP20
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do we need a big space?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps us check.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
