Hog roast hire across RG19
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We’re often asked to cater big birthdays and anniversaries and clubhouse events, with salads, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Cost
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Planning a hog roast in RG19
There are 3 towns and 12 villages and hamlets in RG19, so the setting can be anything from Newbury, Thatcham and Whitley to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Thatcham: Historic houses near Thatcham include Shaw House (2.7 miles west) and Benham Park (4.8 miles west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. For a fundraiser at a school like Spurcroft Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. In Thatcham, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Parking near the spot
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees

Common questions in RG19
How does hog roast hire work?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?
West Berkshire is part of our area. Ask for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.

The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
