Hog roast for events in Burnt Hill, carved to order
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. We are frequently asked to cater community days and street fairs and horse and dog shows, serving crackling, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
At a field event near Burnt Hill, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Questions from Burnt Hill
Is Burnt Hill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Burnt Hill?
Pangbourne station, about 4.2 miles east of the centre.
Can visitors buy their own food?
It depends on how your event works. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we’ll discuss the options.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you need power on site?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas makes a good food line-up. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Served at the time you choose
Read our prices page or what a hog roast costs.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Balance the food line-up
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Chicken widens the choice.
How we price a hog roast for your event
The biggest factors are:
- Travel to Burnt Hill
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The date and time of year
- Site access
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-May events in Burnt Hill have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Let us know about tight access
