Hog roast hire for your event in Wheatley
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Wheatley, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, salads and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
For a place the size of Wheatley, your own garden is frequently the best venue: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Common questions in Wheatley
How far is Wheatley from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What is hog roast hire?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
For event organisers in Wheatley
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Wheatley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm 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.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
