Hog roast hire across RG14
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in RG14, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Typical bookings include corporate events and summer garden parties, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
What you will pay
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

A hog roast across RG14: what to know
From Newbury, Speenhamland and Shaw to 7 villages and hamlets, bookings across RG14 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.
Newbury: If guests are travelling by rail, Newbury has its own station, Newbury station. After a service at St Nicolas Church, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. By late September, sunset in Newbury is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Questions from RG14
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
