Hog roast hire for Bledington
Hog roast hire in Bledington, carved to order
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We are often asked to cater parties at home and community events, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Bledington, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See how we price or our hog roast cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Evenings in Bledington stay light until about 9:30pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Bledington questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Leonard?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Bledington too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
