Hog roast hire for your event in Childrey
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and garden parties and barbecues.
For a rural spot like Childrey, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Any venue rules

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

Childrey: your questions answered
Is Childrey close to London?
About 60 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late September evenings in Childrey lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
