Hog roast hire in RG17: what to expect
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and shows and sports clubs and societies, serving crackling, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Cost
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Hungerford: For anyone arriving by rail, Hungerford station serves Hungerford directly. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of St Lawrence, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Evenings in Hungerford stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:

For event organisers in RG17
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
