About our hog roast hire in Tongham
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We are frequently asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and Fêtes, fairs and shows, serving crackling, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
For a place the size of Tongham, your own garden is often the best venue: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know how we reach the garden. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Where the roaster can go in Tongham
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Any venue rules sorted in advance

What comes off the roaster

Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
A hog roast compared with other options
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
