How hog roast hire works in RG10
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in RG10. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. On the menu are halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for wakes and memorial gatherings and festive gatherings.
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
What it costs in RG10
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Hog roast hire across RG10
From Woodley, Winnersh and Twyford to 14 villages and hamlets, bookings across RG10 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Twyford: PTAs at schools such as Polehampton Church of England Infant School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. A green space like Loddon Nature Reserve is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Light matters for a long roast: around Twyford, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
- Your menu choices
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
Why a hog roast works
It’s generous, hearty food that most people love, and there are alternatives for everyone else.
In RG10 and nearby, we cater for all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:
- Wakes
- Parties at home
- Birthdays and anniversaries
- Work summer parties
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Common questions in RG10
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
