Hog roast hire in Shottesbrooke
Hog roast hire in Shottesbrooke, carved to order
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Typical bookings include festive gatherings and summer garden parties, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
Somewhere as small as Shottesbrooke, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Shottesbrooke questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Shottesbrooke?
The closest is Twyford station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.

- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area

- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time

Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Parking near the spot
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Access for our equipment, without steps
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
