About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
Common questions in Stanford Dingley
Is Stanford Dingley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Stanford Dingley?
Aldermaston station, about 3.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
Can you do soft food?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
