A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, it’s dark in Hungerford by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Vehicle access close by
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
