Slow-roasted pork in Ludgershall

About our hog roast hire in Ludgershall

A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is hog roast hire in Ludgershall. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. We serve rotisserie chicken, salads and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and wedding breakfasts and evening food.

In a small place like Ludgershall, 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. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Step by step

Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By late September, sunset in Ludgershall is around 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Put the menu on the invitation
Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Add a dietary question to your invitations
Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list

We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

Your questions about a hog roast in Ludgershall

Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

Is Ludgershall too small for a hog roast?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Do you need power or water?

The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

When should we book?

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.

What’s the price?

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.

Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?

We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.

We cover Buckinghamshire and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address and we will quote.

What we serve, dish by dish

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Crackling

For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

A hog roast or other catering?

The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
