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 a big classic hog roast at our Leeds wedding in early March and it was just fantastic! The meat was absolutely delicious, and the bride and groom got the pigs cheeks which were to die for! All guests were very happy and very well fed. We did a "cutting the pig" instead of "cutting the cake" which was really fun. If you do this, I recommend bringing aprons and maybe a sword as we do wish now we'd had a sword one something more ceremonial. The team were so friendly and helped contribute to a fun positive atmosphere. Thank you so much for helping to make our day so special. Oh and having the pork leftovers the next days was a perfect hangover cure :)

A wonderful company to work with. Provided a 5 star service at Rickmansworth Golf Club for my Big O birthday !!! Delicious food. Great veggie option. Staff were excellent. Would 100% recommend. Sadly because they were outside I don't think anyone took pics. But everyone raved about the food so that's what's important.

We had a terrific experience with the Gourmet Hog Roast Company for my son's engagement party (SW19, London). The set-up team arrived promptly and were exceptionally friendly and efficient. The food was absolutely amazing, with all our guests giving it a five-star thumbs up. My future daughter-in-law was absolutely overwhelmed and described the party as a magical experience. Thank you so much!

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.
