A hog roast across RG18: what to know
Across RG18, we cover 3 towns and 14 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Newbury, Thatcham and Shaw to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Hermitage: Nearby historic houses include Shaw House (3.4 miles south-west). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. Churches such as Holy Trinity rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. Light matters for a long roast: in Hermitage, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Any venue rules sorted in advance

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
