Hog roast hire in Hungerford
About our hog roast hire in Hungerford
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Hungerford, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Whether it’s Fêtes, fairs and shows and gatherings after a funeral, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and salads and more.
In a rural place like Hungerford, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Where the roaster can go in Hungerford
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Hungerford, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, 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.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
