How our hog roast hire works in Letcombe Bassett
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 Letcombe Bassett. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads, and we are often booked for Fêtes, fairs and shows and club events and presentations.
Somewhere as small as Letcombe Bassett, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

Working with your venue

If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Timed around your day

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
