About our hog roast hire in Otterbourne
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 is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Popular choices include crackling, salads and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for community events and wakes and memorial gatherings.
Somewhere as small as Otterbourne, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Questions from Otterbourne
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Matthew?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Otterbourne from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
