About hog roast hire in RG5
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in RG5, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We’re frequently asked to cater club events and presentations and weddings and receptions, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

Around Woodley
We set up the roaster for events around The Bull And Chequers pub, Rivermead Primary School and United Reformed Church. Other local landmarks include Waingels College (0.8 miles north), The Bulmershe School (0.9 miles west) and Ali's Pond Local Nature Reserve (1.3 miles north-west). The nearest railway station is Winnersh Triangle station, roughly 1.2 miles south. Other landmarks nearby include Berkshire Library & Museum of Freemasonry (2.1 miles south) and Royal Berkshire Hospital (2.7 miles west). Open spaces near Woodley include South Lake and Alder Moors.
Hog roast catering in RG5: local guide
From Woodley to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across RG5 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.
Woodley: If you had Ali's Pond Local Nature Reserve in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. PTAs at schools such as Rivermead Primary School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Around midsummer it stays light in Woodley until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
For event organisers in RG5
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
