How our hog roast hire works in Greywell
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Greywell, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. For corporate events and christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and salads and more.
Somewhere as small as Greywell, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Light matters for a long roast: in Greywell, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- We start with a few details 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.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

A hog roast in Greywell: local details
Greywell is about 6 miles east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Greywell is well within our area for events. We bring hog roasts to 683 places across Hampshire. We cater events right across the region, from Greywell to Reading (about 13 miles away).
For a fundraiser at a school like Robert May's School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. For guests coming by train, Hook station, about 1.4 miles north, is the nearest station.
For events in RG29, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. We can cater an event on streets such as The Street, Hook Road and Dorchester Way or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. If your venue is just outside Greywell, we also cover Warnborough Green (1 mile north-east), North Warnborough (1 mile east), Up Nately (1 mile north-west), Nately Scures (1 mile north-west) and Hook Common (1 mile north).

Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
