What a hog roast costs

- Whether you want china
- The number of people

Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. In Tilehurst, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Tilehurst
Which station is closest to Tilehurst?
Tilehurst station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Tilehurst Methodist Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need to wash up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
