How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, daylight in Hungerford Green ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.

Hungerford Green questions
Is Hungerford Green close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Hungerford Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Our staff serve and clear

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
