Hog roast hire for your event in Chinnor
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. On the menu are salads, hog roast rolls and crackling, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and evening food and corporate events.
For a place the size of Chinnor, your own garden is frequently the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Planning an evening hog roast in Chinnor? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.

FAQs for Chinnor
How far is Chinnor from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you come to Chinnor?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Chinnor and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking area
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
