How hog roast hire works in RG20

With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We’re often asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and club events and presentations, with hog roast rolls, salads and rotisserie chicken.

We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.

  1. We start with a few details about your event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
  4. We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
  5. We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

Around Kingsclere

We set up the roaster for events around Church of St Mary, George And Horne Public House and Kingsclere Church of England Primary School and the streets around them. For guests coming by rail, the closest station is Thatcham station, about 4.8 miles north. Other landmarks nearby include Old Chapel Textile Centre (3.7 miles north-west) and West Berkshire Community Hospital (6 miles north). Green spaces within easy reach include Ladle Hill.

Hog roast catering in RG20: local guide

RG20 covers everything from Newbury, Speenhamland and Kingsclere to 47 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across RG20, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.

Kingsclere: For a fundraiser at a school like Kingsclere Church of England Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Churches such as Church of St Mary rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does. Late September evenings in Kingsclere lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

For event organisers in RG20

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

The menu, dish by dish

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.

Planning the cooking spot

It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:

  • Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
  • Cover for your guests in bad weather
  • Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo

Is a hog roast right for you?

The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.

What your quote should include

  • How many staff will carve and serve
  • The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
  • What crockery is supplied
  • If the price includes VAT

Looking after everyone

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

  • Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
  • We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs

Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.

Your questions about a hog roast in RG20

Do you need power or water?

Do you come to RG20?

We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

What do you need from us on the day?

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.

  • Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
  • Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
