About our hog roast hire in North Heath
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Whether it is wakes and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we can cook salads, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
In a hamlet or village like North Heath, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In North Heath, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

FAQs for North Heath
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?

Which station is closest to North Heath?
The closest is Newbury station, roughly 4.8 miles away.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is crackling included?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
