Our hog roast service in Hungerford
Hungerford is Berkshire's westernmost town, right on the Wiltshire border. The Kennet and Avon Canal and the River Kennet run through it, the long high street climbs south from the canal bridge lined with antiques shops and independent traders, and the town common spreads out to the east. It keeps some unusual old traditions too — Hocktide, when the town's commoners gather each spring, is still celebrated.
All around lie the chalk hills and river valleys of the North Wessex Downs, which makes this farm and country-wedding territory. We roast pigs and lambs on site, carve them in front of guests and bring every side, sauce and bread, plus a team to serve and clear up.
We cater across Hungerford as part of our hog roast catering in Berkshire. For the full picture of how we work, see our full-service hog roasts page.
Where we cater in Hungerford
The countryside dominates. Marquees on farmland towards Inkpen and Shalbourne, barns in the Kennet valley around Kintbury and Froxfield, and private land up on the Downs host weddings, big birthdays and harvest-time parties. In town, the common, sports clubs and village halls in surrounding parishes host fetes, fundraisers and community days, and canal-side gardens make lovely spots for smaller summer parties.
Access can be the main challenge. Downland venues may sit at the end of steep or rutted tracks, and some lanes are single-track with passing places. The M4 junction to the north makes travel in easy; it's the last mile that needs a plan.

Hog roasts for birthday parties · Hog roasts for private partiesWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
Nothing is carved in advance and left to sit. The pig goes on hours before service, fills the air with the smell of roasting pork, and is carved fresh for every guest with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce.
Hog roast menuLamb roast
Lamb works as the only roast or alongside pork. We carve it at the counter and serve it with mint sauce, herby salads and breads — a popular choice for summer weddings.
A whole lamb roastBBQ options
Beef burgers, pork sausages, marinated and BBQ-glazed chicken, veggie burgers, halloumi and plant-based sausages — pick three or four and we'll handle the rest.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
Most Hungerford events pick two to four sides. Summer menus lean towards coleslaw, leaf salads, tomatoes and potato salad; evening and winter events tend to want fries, sweet potato fries or new potatoes. We bring the breads, rolls and sauces too.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Dietary needs are planned in from the start, not added at the end. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are cooked on separate equipment on request and clearly labelled, and allergen information is available for everything we serve. For guests with severe allergies, please talk to us before the event.
