How hog roast hire works in RG24
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. On the menu are coleslaw, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for staff days and open days and weddings and receptions.
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
What you’ll pay

Planning a hog roast in RG24
Across RG24, we cover 3 towns and 4 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Basingstoke, Popley and Oakridge to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Basingstoke: Historic houses near Basingstoke include The Vyne (2.9 miles north). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. If you had Eastrop Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. Planning an evening hog roast in Basingstoke? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
For event organisers in RG24
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Common questions in RG24
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
