About our hog roast hire in East Garston
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in East Garston, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are hog roast rolls, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater milestone birthdays and weddings, day or evening.
In a rural place like East Garston, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

How we price a hog roast
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Anything the venue has asked for
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Parking near the spot
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in East Garston
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Around midsummer it stays light in East Garston until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

East Garston questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
