How our hog roast hire works in Hambledon
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We serve halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for Fêtes, fairs and shows and big birthdays and anniversaries.
Somewhere as small as Hambledon, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Hambledon, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
