How our hog roast hire works in Eversley
People book a hog roast in Eversley for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. We serve crackling, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for weddings, day or evening and club events and presentations.
For a rural spot like Eversley, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event. In Eversley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Your questions about a hog roast in Eversley
Is Eversley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is all of Wokingham covered?
We cover Wokingham and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
