How our hog roast hire works in Eddington
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve rotisserie chicken, salads and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings, day or evening and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
In a small place like Eddington, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours.

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Late September evenings in Eddington lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The venue or postcode

To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
