DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Common questions in Hungerford
Which station is closest to Hungerford?
Twyford station, about 2.1 miles west of the centre.
Is Hungerford 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.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How do we book for a business?
Get in touch with your details, and we will set out the terms with your quote.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll plan around them.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Shelter for the team
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast to make it more formal. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
