We bring hog roasts to all 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Benham Hill to Reading (14 miles away).

For care home events in RG14, RG19 and RG18, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Streets in the area include Manor Lane, Arkle Avenue and Turnpike Road, and a care home event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For residents who need modified textures, your kitchen looks after those portions. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What you get with us
