A fête near Hungerford might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Summer events in Hungerford have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Common questions in Hungerford
Is Hungerford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you come to Hungerford?
Yes, Hungerford is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
We do. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

- Show allergens at the stall
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Signpost the stall clearly
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
Before you choose a spot
