How event catering works in West Berkshire
We’re a mobile catering company: we bring the kitchen to you. In West Berkshire, that means a hog roast, a barbecue or both, cooked outdoors under cover at your venue, with our staff serving and clearing. We are frequently asked to cater christmas parties and garden parties, serving spit-roast lamb, beef burgers and pulled pork.
We work back from when you want to eat: we arrive early for a hog roast, and in good time for a barbecue. Either way, it’s ready on time.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a menu suggestion and a price.
- We confirm the cooking spot with you or the venue.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and go.

Catering events across West Berkshire
In West Berkshire, our catering pages cover the bigger places, such as Newbury and Thatcham, though we will travel to smaller villages too. Wherever it is, we need somewhere level outside to cook.
Newbury: If guests are travelling by rail, Newbury station is in Newbury itself. If you’re organising a fair for a school like St Nicolas C.E. Junior School, a hog roast or barbecue stall is popular. Late May in Newbury has light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer until about 9:25pm, which gives summer events long evenings.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Running late? Let us know, and we’ll work around it.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What catering costs
The price comes down to:
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
