Our hog roast hire in West Berkshire

People book a hog roast in West Berkshire for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. On the menu are new potatoes, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we’re frequently booked for parties at home and festive gatherings.

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. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.

A hog roast across West Berkshire: what to know

Across West Berkshire, we cover 3 towns and 139 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Newbury, Thatcham and Burghfield Common to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings. Parts of West Berkshire are within a few miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.

Newbury: After a service at St Nicolas Church, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. For a fundraiser at a school like St Nicolas C.E. Junior School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Light matters for a long roast: in Newbury, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.

A hog roast compared with other options
