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.

Hired gourmet hog roast for a birthday party for 80 attendees, we chose well. Professional, friendly every step of the way, our team were Anthony and Eric who set up cooked and served with efficiency and all with a smile. We had the bbq menu which I must say was better than expected and the team were open to providing vegan options. My guests all complimented the standard of service and friendly team cooking and serving. We have many events throughout the year here in Sarisbury Green Community Centre both private parties and open to the public I would recommend this company for both in the future here.
Thanks again for making the evening memorable. Dean Swensson

A huge thank you to The Gourmet Hog Roast Company for catering our staff Christmas party in Chesham! Once again, the food was brilliant and the service was excellent. It is so lovely not having to worry about the catering, knowing that you have it all in hand! Plus, the added bonus that you do the clearing and washing up too! We always get great feedback about the food, especially the canapes! Thank you for making the whole process so easy.

We booked the Hog Roast Company for an event in Chapmanslade, just south of Bath in Wiltshire. We originally chose them after a Google search — their excellent reviews and their quick, friendly response made them stand out straight away.

The booking process felt a little long-winded at times, but we completely appreciate that the team needs to gather the right information to ensure everything runs smoothly.

On the day, the weather was absolutely horrendous, but the team ploughed through with genuine smiles on their faces. They arrived on time, served on time, and their positive attitude never wavered despite the conditions.

The quality of the food was superb — everyone commented on how delicious it was. The service was equally impressive: the guys were brilliant, friendly, caring, and a pleasure to have on-site. They represented the company exceptionally well.

We would definitely recommend the Hog Roast Company to friends and colleagues. Please pass on our thanks to the whole team — they did a fantastic job and helped make our event a real success.

Best hog (Italian) roast ever!
Our 50 guests were blown away with the amazing taste.
Service was faultless
So nice to be able to praise such companies that really do go above and beyond.
To also hear that they travelled nearly 2 hours to do all of this and still be perfect & nothing was a problem.
Plentiful servings too, we did not go hungry!
Great work guys
Keep up the great work.

We hired The Gourmet Hog Roast Company for my daughter’s baptism in Fairford Leys and they were fabulous. They tailored a package to meet our budget and they were brilliant on the day. Everyone said how lovely the staff were and the food was delicious. They were also able to provide a delicious vegetarian option, I was gutted I didn’t get to try it! Thank you.
