Our hog roast hire in SP11
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is hog roast hire in SP11. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. On the menu are new potatoes, crackling and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for weddings and receptions and sports clubs and societies.
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand.

Around Ludgershall
We set up the roaster for events around Ludgershall Castle Primary School, The Wellington Academy and Prince of Wales Hotel, among other places. A little further out are Ludgershall Castle (within half a mile north).
Planning a hog roast in SP11
Across SP11, we cover 3 towns and 58 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Andover, Ludgershall and East Anton or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Ludgershall: For a fundraiser at a school like Ludgershall Castle Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of St James, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Light matters for a long roast: in Ludgershall, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Why a hog roast works
You don’t need much on your side: just an outdoor spot for the roaster. Everything else comes with us.
A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions in SP11. Here are some of the most popular:
- Birthdays and anniversaries
- Clubhouse events
- Wakes and memorial gatherings
- Christmas parties
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two.
Comparing caterers
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- Any travel or access charges
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
