Private Party Hog Roast Hire

We specialise in providing hog roast, spit roasts and BBQ catering for private functions. Whether it is 50 or 500 guests you can be rest assured it will be an unforgettable experience.

The Gourmet Hog Roast Company arrive 6-7 hours prior to the pre-arranged carving time and set up the spit roast machine, tables, gas, electric. 1 to 2 members of our staff will then stay with the free range pigs throughout the whole cooking process ensuring the meat is adequately basted and that the crackling crisps up properly.

An hour before the serving time the gas is turned off to allow 20-25 minutes for the hog roast to rest and the juices to settle. Carving of the meat then takes about 30-40 minutes when we let the meat fall into the bottom of the roasting machine before we add the Gourmet Hog Special Sauce.

From there the meat is ready to be served buffet style.

We had our wedding at Dodmoor House Northamptonshire and chose to have a hog roast and some sides. The food and service was fantastic! All our guests said how much they enjoyed the food and all the leftovers were very neatly packed up for us which we have very much enjoyed in sandwiches! Thanks again for being a part of our special day.

We used the Gourmet Hog Roast company for a family event for 34 people in Beaconsfield, Bucks. The team were extremely professional and helpful, the food was excellent in both quality and quantity. The whole process was seamless and stress free from start to finish, leaving us with nothing to do but enjoy the event. We would definitely use the company again. Highly recommended!
Caroline Anson
Lovely food. Fresh, tasty, even brought a huge bowl of crackling! Really nice duo that came and catered for us. Absolutely no negative feedback, and we would use them again! Our event was at New Holland, Barrow Upon Humber.

These guys came to my home in Far Forest, outside Bewdley in Worcestershire for my son’s 21st. Nothing was too much trouble. They were polite, prompt, tidy and most importantly the food was delicious. Would highly recommend. They even put up with quite a few family dogs trying to get in on the action! Would give them 6 stars if I could.

We ordered a full Italian hog roast for between 50 -60 covers for my 80th birthday - wow! there was enough for my next birthday too! The antipasta starter selection was great too but the hog roast was the star of the show, perfectly cooked with all the trimmings, hot and on time. The roasties were'nt bad either!.
Well done you guys for keeping a young man and his large family very happy.👌😊
Emily Clark
We had Gourmet Hog Roast cater for our wedding near Ely (Cambridgeshire) recently and they were great. We went for the classic hog roast package and then cheese toasties for evening food. They also had plenty of options to cover all our guests dietary requirements including vegan and gluten free. We were really happy with the quality of the food and the service on the day. All our guests were saying how much they enjoyed it too. Would definitely recommend.
