Hog roast hire for Duns Tew
How our hog roast hire works in Duns Tew
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is hog roast hire in Duns Tew. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. Popular choices include crackling, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for summer garden parties and weddings, day or evening.
In a small place like Duns Tew, 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. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Our staff serve and clear
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Your questions about a hog roast in Duns Tew
How far is Duns Tew from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Duns Tew 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.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
Do we need a big space?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
