Hog roast hire in Greenham
About our hog roast hire in Greenham
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include coleslaw, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater community events and club events and presentations.
Somewhere as small as Greenham, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Can you do a hog roast in Sandleford Priory?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How big a hog will we need?

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Why choose a hog roast in Greenham?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- All the equipment comes with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Step by step
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event. In Greenham, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
