Hog roast hire for your event in Newport Pagnell
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it’s Fêtes, fairs and shows and gatherings after a funeral, we can cook hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw for your guests.
Most bookings in a town like Newport Pagnell are at homes, halls, clubs and workplaces. Each works well, as long as there’s a level spot clear of buildings and trees. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Newport Pagnell until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, 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.

- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Newport Pagnell questions
How far is Newport Pagnell from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Bede (Roman Catholic): can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What is hog roast hire?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

A hog roast compared with other options
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. 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.
