How we price a hog roast
Here’s what affects the price:
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Anything the venue has asked for
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
How our hog roast hire works in Sindlesham
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Sindlesham. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. We serve crackling, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for summer garden parties and club events and presentations.
In a hamlet or village like Sindlesham, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Sindlesham questions
What’s the nearest station to Sindlesham?
The closest is Winnersh station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Maiden Erlegh Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In Sindlesham, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.

Events we cater in Sindlesham

- Birthdays and anniversaries
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
