Questions from Garsington
Is Garsington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Garsington close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Will people get crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
What space does the roaster need?
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.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
About our hog roast hire in Garsington

For staff days and open days and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and coleslaw and more.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
