Hog roast hire in Crookham Village, slow-roasted on site
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. For birthdays and anniversaries and club events and presentations, we can cook hog roast rolls, salads and spit-roast lamb and more.
In a small place like Crookham Village, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- All the equipment comes with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
