Our hog roast hire in SL8
People book a hog roast in SL8 for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Typical bookings include sports clubs and societies and big birthdays and anniversaries, serving coleslaw, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
What you’ll pay

Local landmarks in Bourne End
We set up the roaster for events around St Mark, Wye Valley School and The Bounty pub. There is a railway station in Bourne End itself: Bourne End station. Well-known places in the area include Marlow Community Hospital (2.6 miles west) and High Wycombe Castle (3.9 miles north-west). Within reach you will find Warren Nature Reserve and Taplow Lake.
Planning a hog roast in SL8
There are 3 towns and 4 villages and hamlets in SL8, so whether your event is in Bourne End, Cores End and Well End or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Bourne End: Historic houses near Bourne End include Cliveden (1.7 miles south-east) and Harleyford Manor (4.6 miles south-west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. For guests coming by train, there’s a station right in Bourne End: Bourne End station. In Bourne End, 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. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast.
What your quote should include
- Allergen information for every dish
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
