About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

Common questions in Eastbury
How far is Eastbury from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
Is Eastbury 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.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in Eastbury until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Why choose hog roast hire in Eastbury?

Here’s what people in Eastbury most often book a hog roast for:
- Wakes and memorial gatherings

- VAT, if it applies
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- Whether travel is included
- The space, cover and access they need
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Parking near the spot
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What affects the price in Eastbury
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or RG17 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- 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
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
