Hog roast hire for your event in Skinners Green
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We serve spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we are frequently booked for community events and weddings, day or evening.
In a rural place like Skinners Green, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Skinners Green
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Hamstead Marshall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is all of West Berkshire covered?
All of West Berkshire is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll quote.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or RG14 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
