Hog roast hire in Hinton Waldrist, slow-roasted on site
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Hinton Waldrist. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. On the menu are salads, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and community events.
In a small place like Hinton Waldrist, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Questions from Hinton Waldrist
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Hinton Waldrist close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Hinton Waldrist until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
