Hog roast hire for Church Crookham
About our hog roast hire in Church Crookham
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Church Crookham. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. We serve hog roast rolls, salads and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for club events and presentations and gatherings after a funeral.
In a hamlet or village like Church Crookham, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Stuffing and apple sauce

For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
