A hog roast near Kingsclere
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Wedding hog roast near Kingsclere
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. We are frequently asked to cater home weddings and late-night wedding food, serving carved roast pork, crackling and halloumi skewers.
In Kingsclere, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

FAQs for Kingsclere
Which station is closest to Kingsclere?
The closest is Thatcham station, roughly 4.8 miles away.
How far is Kingsclere from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
When do you start roasting?
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.

Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to other evening food, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?

DIY versus a catered hog roast

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give final numbers in good time
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
We’re on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
