How our hog roast hire works in Bagnor
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We are frequently asked to cater milestone birthdays and community events, serving halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
For a rural spot like Bagnor, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Bagnor
- How many people are eating
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late September evenings in Bagnor lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Your questions about a hog roast in Bagnor
What’s the nearest station to Bagnor?
Newbury station, about 1.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Victoria Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is it just pork?
It’s built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
