How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. By late September, the light in Aldermaston goes at about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your residents

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Someone to meet us
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- A level outdoor area
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
