Hog roast hire in West Heath, slow-roasted on site
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We are often asked to cater festive gatherings and milestone birthdays, serving salads, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Somewhere like West Heath, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

Bringing a hog roast to West Heath
West Heath is about 2 miles south of Tadley, in Hampshire. We bring a hog roast to events anywhere in West Heath, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. West Heath is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from West Heath to Reading (12 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to West Heath are The Vyne (3 miles east). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. After a service at Christ Church, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house.
For events in RG26, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Your event could be at a house on Deans Lane, The Common and Old Vyne Lane or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to events in Charter Alley (1 mile south-east), Ramsdell (1 mile south), Pamber End (1 mile east), Salters Heath (2 miles east) and Monk Sherborne (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Basingstoke (4 miles south-east), Fleet (14 miles east), Alton (14 miles south-east), Yateley (14 miles east), Hook (9 miles east) and Popley (4 miles south-east).
A little further out are Park Prewett Hospital (3.2 miles south-east) and Calleva Museum (3.3 miles north-east). Within reach you will find Daneshill Park Woods.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which usually keeps the cost down. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why West Heath hosts choose us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
See our prices page or the cost guide.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Light matters for a long roast: in West Heath, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
How to get a price
