Hog roast hire in Ufton Green, slow-roasted on site
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We are frequently asked to cater staff days and open days and birthdays and anniversaries, serving spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In a hamlet or village like Ufton Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How the day 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. Light matters for a long roast: around Ufton Green, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Ufton Green hosts choose us
- Planned to your running order
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

FAQs for Ufton Green
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Ufton Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How does hog roast hire work?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you cover Ufton Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Ufton Green and the rest of West Berkshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Parking near the spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
