The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A spot that keeps access clear

What’s the nearest station to Aldermaston Soke?

How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can you cater in Aldermaston Soke?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you carve thinly?

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
