- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Old Warren
Which station is closest to Old Warren?
The closest is Aldermaston station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Could you cook in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Can you cater in Old Warren?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What allergens are in the food?
You’ll get allergen details for everything. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
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.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Your team helps residents as needed.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
