Hog roast hire in Eversley Centre, slow-roasted on site
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Eversley Centre, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve new potatoes, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater garden parties and barbecues and christmas fairs.
In a small place like Eversley Centre, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Late September evenings in Eversley Centre lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

What else we do in Eversley Centre
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
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 often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
