Hog roast hire for your event in Twyford
People book a hog roast in Twyford for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. For wakes and weddings and receptions, we will put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
For a place the size of Twyford, your own garden is often the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Let us know how we reach the garden. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Why Twyford hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
