Hog roast hire for your event in Crowthorne
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Crowthorne: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include garden parties and barbecues and christmas parties, with crackling, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
In Crowthorne, gardens come in all sizes, and most work with a side gate and some space. If not, a hall or club nearby is a good fallback. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Where the roaster can go in Crowthorne
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Crowthorne: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Crowthorne Methodist Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Crowthorne close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How does hog roast hire work?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Do you come to Crowthorne?
Yes, Crowthorne is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Is crackling included?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Planning an evening hog roast in Crowthorne? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

What affects the price in Crowthorne
Your quote depends on:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Crowthorne
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
