Hog roast hire for your event in Goring
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. For work summer parties and community events, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
In and around Goring, gardens and village halls are common choices. If access is tight, we’ll plan around it. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.

Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
FAQs for Goring
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Thomas of Canterbury?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It’s built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you cook it or do we?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
A hog roast compared with other options
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Around midsummer it stays light in Goring 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 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
