Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Questions from Hungerford
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Hungerford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is our garden suitable?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will tell you if it works.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Parking close to the house
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Organising for someone else?

What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. A summer party in Hungerford stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
