Hog roast hire in Kingsclere
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
About our hog roast hire in Kingsclere
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and village fêtes and school fairs, serving new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
In a smaller place like Kingsclere, a hog roast in the garden is often the simplest option: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

FAQs for Kingsclere
Which station is closest to Kingsclere?
The closest is Thatcham station, roughly 4.8 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
