Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
About the food
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved to order.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
A hog roast or other catering?
Mix and match: turkey and pork together. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us

What else we do in Sparsholt
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A lunchtime Christmas party in Sparsholt is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:

- Light by the serving table

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Questions from Sparsholt
Do you come out to small places like Sparsholt?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How early should we book for Christmas?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
