Hog roast hire in Yattendon, carved to order
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Yattendon, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. For festive gatherings and milestone birthdays, we can cook halloumi skewers, new potatoes and hog roast rolls and more.
Somewhere as small as Yattendon, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
