Christmas hog roast in Hinton Ampner, carved to order
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. Whether it is boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas markets, we will put together a menu of roast potatoes, apple sauce and roast turkey for your guests.

Common questions in Hinton Ampner
How far is Hinton Ampner from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Hinton Ampner too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Cooking is always outdoors; guests can eat inside.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Serving and clearing done for you

How the day works

- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
