Catered or do it yourself?

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Who books party hog roast in Hungerford?

Planning for dietary needs

  • Request gluten-free rolls
  • Collect dietary needs when guests reply
  • Keep the vegetarian option labelled
  • Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans

Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.

China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What comes off the roaster

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.

Crackling

Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

Before you choose a spot

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

  • A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
  • Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
  • Space for our vehicle near the drive

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

FAQs for Hungerford

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

Can you cater after a service at Church of St Lawrence?

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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.

Is our garden suitable?

Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will tell you if it works.

What about kids?

Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.

Do you serve the food?

We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

When should we book?

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.

Do you bring plates?

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.

What about the neighbours?

A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.

How it works

Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Hungerford, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.

  1. Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check the space and send a clear quote.
  3. We set up early and get the hog roasting.
  4. When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
  5. We pack away and leave the garden tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about tight access
  • Confirm numbers ahead of the day
  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Getting a price

We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
