Hog roast hire across GU11
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in GU11, so the setting can be anything from Farnborough, Aldershot and North Camp to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Aldershot: For anyone arriving by rail, Aldershot station serves Aldershot directly. If you are gathering after a service at a church like Church of the Holy Trinity, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Around midsummer it stays light in Aldershot until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
Your questions about a hog roast in GU11
Do we need a big space?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
