Hog roast hire in Huntercombe, slow-roasted on site
In Huntercombe, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. We serve salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and summer garden parties.
A place like Huntercombe frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can host a hog roast with permission. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Huntercombe questions
Could you cook in Haymill Valley?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at St. Andrew's Shared Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Huntercombe
- How many people are eating
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Roughly how many people
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Around midsummer it stays light in Huntercombe until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, 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.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- 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 clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
