About hog roast hire in BN88
In BN88, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. We’re frequently asked to cater work summer parties and Fêtes, fairs and shows, serving new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Cost
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book our hog roast
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- No surprises: everything in writing

Planning a hog roast in BN88
Across BN88, we cover 2 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Prestonville and Preston or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Prestonville: After a service at St Luke's Church Prestonville, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Stanford Infant School, can book a hog roast stall. In Prestonville, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
