What’s the nearest station to Stockcross?
The closest is Newbury station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you bring a gazebo?

About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.

How we price a hog roast for your party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A step-free way into the garden
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A hog roast or other catering?
DIY or catered? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Our staff serve and clear

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. In Stockcross, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Gather dietary requirements early
