Hog roast hire in Little Hungerford
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How our hog roast hire works in Little Hungerford
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Little Hungerford. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. We’re often asked to cater corporate events and sports clubs and societies, with coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
Somewhere as small as Little Hungerford, 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 plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
