How hog roast hire works in Wokingham
In Wokingham, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. We serve crackling, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for christmas fairs and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Cost
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

What affects the price in Wokingham
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we’re there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
