Our hog roast hire in RG41
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are new potatoes, salads and crackling, and typical bookings are for staff days and open days and weddings, day or evening.
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.

Hog roast hire across RG41
Across RG41, we cover 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Lower Earley, Winnersh and Woosehill to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Winnersh: PTAs at schools such as The Forest School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like St Mary the Virgin, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Planning an evening hog roast in Winnersh? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast.

Your questions about a hog roast in RG41
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
