Hog roast hire for Caversham Park Village
About our hog roast hire in Caversham Park Village
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve new potatoes, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for club events and presentations and parties at home.
For a place the size of Caversham Park Village, your own garden is frequently the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

How we price a hog roast
Your quote depends on:
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A picture of the cooking area
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late September evenings in Caversham Park Village lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
