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.

Marco and Russ were incredible throughout the entire process of our wedding. From the time booking and sorting out exactly what we wanted, to the delivery of the service on the day, we cannot fault them or any of their staff.The food was incredible - all of our guests said how delicious and inclusive it was of dietary requirements and that no one was hungry! The cheese toasties - well, we have no words! Everyone should have these as their evening food from now on - they went down a treat! Even the small detail of the staff coming to find my new husband and I to personally make sure we had had one - very classy and totally professional.The service was professional yet relaxed and friendly, and we cannot thank you enough for answering all of our questions with no hesitation.Highly recommend!Venue: Little Park Farm, Mortimer Common near Reading, Berkshire

We have used The Gourmet Hog Roast Company for the past 2 years at our summer event, which we hold on an open area on Rother Valley Park - nothing is too much trouble, and most importantly, the food is incredible. We invited them back this year as our employees demanded the crackling!Friendly staff - huge portions - delicious side, what more could you want! Looking forward to the next event they cater for us.

We chose The Gourmet Hog Roast Company for our summer BBQ in Emersons Green Bristol and were thrilled with both the professional service and the delicious food. The setup was beautifully done—much more stylish and inviting than being served from a van. Everything was well presented, and the desserts, in particular, were impressively served and tasted fantastic. Highly recommended!
