Hog roast hire across RG4
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. On the menu are crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for gatherings after a funeral and corporate events.
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Hog roast catering in RG4: local guide
From Caversham, Newtown and Caversham Heights to 12 villages and hamlets, bookings across RG4 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Caversham: A green space like Eldon Square is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. Historic houses near Caversham include Mapledurham House (3 miles west) and Greys Court (4.7 miles north). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. Late September evenings in Caversham lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Put the menu on the invitation
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Questions from RG4
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
