Party hog roast for Oare
Party hog roast near Oare
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for anniversary parties and garden parties.
In a small place like Oare, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Hosting a hog roast party in Oare
Oare is about 4 miles north of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. Oare is well within our area for parties. We bring hog roasts to 155 places across West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 13 miles away.
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Bartholomew, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Within reach of Oare are historic houses such as Shaw House (4 miles south-west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Oare, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
For parties in RG18, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Local streets include Manor Lane and Old Street; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. For parties just outside Oare, we cover Little Hungerford (1 mile south-east), Hermitage (1 mile south), Wellhouse (1 mile south-east), Longlane (1 mile south) and Curridge (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Newbury (5 miles south-west), Thatcham (4 miles south), Burghfield Common (10 miles south-east), Speenhamland (5 miles south-west), Hungerford (11 miles west) and Spencers Wood (14 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find Hampstead Norris Castle (1.8 miles north-east) and West Berkshire Community Hospital (4 miles south). Open spaces near Oare include Snelsmore Common.
- Nearby, you’ll find The White Horse pub (0.8 miles south)
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Oare
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Oare from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll tell you if it works.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening parties in Oare need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Getting ready for the day
