Hog roast hire in Aldermaston, carved to order
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are halloumi skewers, salads and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater community events and christmas parties.
Somewhere as small as Aldermaston, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Aldermaston questions
Could you cook in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is Aldermaston close to London?
About 46 miles from central 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’ll talk you through it.
What is hog roast hire?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What meats can we have?
It’s built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.

Before you choose a spot

- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Late September evenings in Aldermaston lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.

Preparing for the day

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
