Book a hog roast in Yateley
How our hog roast hire works in Yateley
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. We serve coleslaw, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are often booked for gatherings after a funeral and garden parties and barbecues.
Most bookings in a town like Yateley are at homes, halls, clubs and workplaces. Each works well, as long as there is a level spot clear of buildings and trees. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: 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.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Events we cater in Yateley
You don’t need much on your side: just an outdoor spot for the roaster. Everything else comes with us.
Here’s what people in Yateley most often book a hog roast for:
- Christmas fairs
- Staff days and open days
- Milestone birthdays
- Village fêtes and school fairs
Churches such as Church of St Peter rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does.

How we price a hog roast
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A hog roast in Yateley: local details
Yateley is about 4 miles north-west of Farnborough, in Hampshire. Our roaster is a regular sight at events around Yateley. Yateley is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 10 miles away.
For a fundraiser at a school like Yateley School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. If you had Ambarrow Court in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park.
This part of Hampshire takes in GU46, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. Whether your event is on Hall Lane, Calcott Park and Wistaria Lane or a nearby road, we’ll bring the roaster to you. Yateley is on the B3272, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. If your venue is just outside Yateley, we also cover Darby Green (1 mile east), Eversley Cross (1 mile north-west), Little Sandhurst (1 mile north-east), Minley (2 miles south) and Eversley Centre (2 miles west).

- Nearby schools include Cranford Park Primary (within half a mile east)
- Local pubs include Dog & Partridge pub (within half a mile north-east)
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late September evenings in Yateley 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.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
