About our hog roast hire in Streatley
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Streatley, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve coleslaw, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and anniversaries and staff days and open days.
Somewhere like Streatley, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
