A hog roast near Ludgershall
A hog roast or other catering?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who does not eat it. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Our staff serve and clear
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Hog roast hire in Ludgershall, carved to order
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. For staff days and open days and christmas parties, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads.
For a place the size of Ludgershall, your own garden is frequently the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Ludgershall questions
How far is Ludgershall from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Ludgershall, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.

- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations

We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
