Planning an event in Bowsey Hill?
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Bowsey Hill: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Bowsey Hill?
Wargrave station, about 1.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Bowsey Hill close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. After-work summer events in Bowsey Hill have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
