Our hog roast hire in HP27

We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Popular choices include new potatoes, salads and hog roast rolls, and we are often booked for community events and staff days and open days.

Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.

  1. You share the when, where and how many.
  2. We look at the cooking area and send a price.
  3. We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
  4. Our chef carves and our staff serve.
  5. We clear up and go.

Prices in HP27

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

A hog roast across HP27: what to know

Across HP27, we cover 3 towns and 19 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Princes Risborough, Longwick and Monks Risborough or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings. Parts of HP27 are within a few miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.

Princes Risborough: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Princes Risborough School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Princes Risborough station, about 0.7 miles south-west. In Princes Risborough, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Prices and what affects them

A few things make the biggest difference to the price:

  • The serving time and how long we’re on site
  • Plates or china
  • Distance from us
  • How many people are eating

When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

What to tell us

These are the details we need:

  • What the outdoor space is like
  • Allergies we should know about
  • Where the event is
  • Which meats and sides you’d like

Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.

Occasions we serve in HP27

Rolls are easy to eat standing up, so it suits informal events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.

Our roaster has been booked for all sorts of events around HP27, such as:

  • Wedding breakfasts and evening food
  • Club events and presentations
  • Corporate events
  • Parties at home

Full catering or machine hire?

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

A hog roast compared with other options

Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.

What your quote should include

  • VAT, if it applies
  • How many staff will carve and serve
  • Where the roaster goes and what it needs
  • Arrival time and how long the roast needs

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:

  • Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
  • Put the menu on the invitation
  • If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
  • Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list

If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.

China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.

Common questions in HP27

Can we just hire the roaster?

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Do you cover the whole of Buckinghamshire?

All of Buckinghamshire is in our area. Send us the address and we will quote.

Where does the hog roast go?

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.

Do you bring plates?

Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

How soon do you get booked up?

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.

Can you work around our timings?

Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

Do we need a big space?

Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps us check.

  • Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
  • Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
  • Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
  • Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
