Party hog roast for Hungerford
Party hog roast near Hungerford
After a christening near Hungerford, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, without anyone stuck cooking. We serve hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and we’re frequently booked for ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and big birthday parties.
In a small place like Hungerford, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive

- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
